Your referring physician may have already performed some of the tests that will be discussed. Please check with your obstetrician’s office prior to your appointment and ask that they fax us your relevant records. These may include tests such as:

Maternal serum screening results from your current pregnancy:

• First trimester screening (the nuchal translucency test)
• Second trimester screening (the triple screen or quad screen)

Genetic carrier testing records:

• Cystic Fibrosis
• Fragile X
• Ashkenazi Jewish carrier testing (Tay-Sachs, Canavan, etc)
• Hemoglobinopathy evaluation (CBC and hemoglobin electrophoresis)
• If your appointment is to discuss a family history concern, please try to bring the medical records of the affected individual in your family.
• If your appointment is to discuss an ultrasound finding, please bring a copy of that ultrasound report (unless your ultrasound was done at Carnegie Imaging, as we will have  that on file).

Having these records prior to your appointment will help to ensure that you are seen on time and that we do not repeat tests that you have already had.
For your convenience in making arrangements to have your medical records sent to us in advance of your genetic consultation, a medical records release form can be obtained  "Genetic Counseling Medical Release Form".
