When Ushta was pregnant with her third child, she found herself being told which tests she would be having done—rather than being offered options and having them explained to her. As a genetic counselor working in reproductive genetics, she had also started fielding many questions from individuals looking for more insight and direction in a time of expanding prenatal testing options. These experiences led her to leave her role in industry and start her own company: FiND Genetics , an independent telemedicine genetics consulting practice. Ushta shares the path that led her to FiND Genetics, her perspective on recent changes within the field of genetic counseling, and how genetic counseling can empower patients to make informed decisions.

Erika and Garin were 30 weeks into a complicated pregnancy when they learned that their pregnancy was not viable. Erika was denied an abortion due to New York’s 24 week cut-off so the couple travelled to Colorado to terminate her pregnancy. Their experience with New York’s abortion law, and the realization about how others were affected by it, led them to share their story publicly and advocate for reform. They founded the RHAvote campaign, the grassroots home for the Reproductive Health Act (RHA), a bill that decriminalized abortion in New York and brought the state’s regulation of abortion in line with Roe vs Wade. They worked alongside a statewide coalition, and in January 2019, New York finally passed the RHA after being stalled for almost a decade. After seeing the power of patient narratives first hand, they began organizing later abortion patients across the country (PatientForward.org ).

Dave and one of his younger sisters were both born with heart defects that required surgery. When Dave was 60, he was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm. By this time, he had a daughter, Dawn Laney, who was a genetic counselor and professor at the Emory School of Medicine. With Dawn’s help, Dave finally arrived at a diagnosis of Cutis Laxa for both himself and his sister.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedAt 20 weeks of pregnancy, Jill learned that her son Alex had a diaphragmatic hernia. And a ventricular septal defect. An amniocentesis revealed a rare diagnosis of Mosaic Trisomy 5: some of her son’s cells had a typical number of chromosomes (46,XY) and some had an extra copy of chromosome #5. Jill shares a detailed account of her prenatal and neonatal journey, including the diagnosis of additional birth defects and complications and the lack of available information or anticipatory guidance for parents who know they will have a child in the NICU. Alex died when he was 10 months old. Jill explores the taboo around acknowledging parental exhaustion and burnout as well as the taboos surrounding talking about children who have died—which has the effect of isolating a grieving parent.

Molly sensed that something was different with her son Joshua starting shortly after birth: he was a very fussy baby; his growth was off the charts. By 10-12 months, Molly had the full attention of her pediatrician; Josh was clearly not meeting milestones. She then spent over five years focused on finding a diagnosis. Their diagnostic odyssey included meeting with five geneticists before they finally traveled out of state for a full clinical trial just after the Covid-19 Pandemic hit. Just before his 6th birthday, Josh was diagnosed with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). Molly shares how she had to learn to respond to people’s comments about Joshua’s obesity as well as generic recommendations from uninformed healthcare providers about diet and exercise. For them, the pandemic offered a temporary refuge from the judgements of society and the stigma associated with obesity. She also shares how Josh's diagnosis has influenced his medical care and given her a new and powerful tool to respond to comments related to obesity.
