Consider Prenatal Testing?      You may benefit from genetic
counseling and prenatal testing if:      • You are pregnant and
under age 35 but would like more accurate screening for Down
syndrome.     • You are pregnant and will be 35 years or older
on your due date.     • You are pregnant with an abnormal
screening test result (for example: a positive Expanded AFP
blood or Integrated Screening result).     • You have already
had a child or other close relative with a birth defect or
genetic disease.     • You are a carrier of an X-linked disease
such as Fragile X, hemophilia or muscular dystrophy.
