TABLE 3.

Knowledge of expanded carrier screening.

Question Pregnant women with correct answer n = 623 (%) Non-pregnant women with correct answer n = 300 (%) P-value
ECS allows screening for more than 100 genetic disorders by one test. 346 (55.5) 152 (50.7) 0.389
Depending on the condition tested, an abnormal test result for myself means I am a carrier of the disease. 273 (43.8) 147 (49.0)
Depending on the condition tested, an abnormal test result for myself means I will develop the disease 320 (51.4) 146 (48.7)
A normal test result for myself means my future offspring will never have the disease tested by the panel 277 (44.5) 114 (38.0)
When both my partner and myself have abnormal result on the same condition which is of autosomal recessive inheritance, there is a 25% chance that our future child will have the disease caused by the gene 288 (46.2) 144 (48.0)
