Summary

This study is conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with up to 400 subjects (women & partners) seeking pre-conception carrier testing to assess the impact of the program using Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). 1. The investigators hypothesize that whole genome sequencing will increase the detection of carrier status for Mendelian recessive and x-linked conditions. 2. The investigators hypothesize that parents will act on the knowledge of their carrier status by making different reproductive choices than parents who do not receive this information. 3. The investigators hypothesize that the psychosocial risks are increased among parents who receive expanded carrier screening using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) compared with usual care.
