What is the role of genetic testing in reproductive decision-making?

Genetic testing can play a significant role in reproductive decision-making. It can help couples:

• Identify genetic risks: Determine if they are carriers for recessive genes or at risk of passing on genetic disorders to their children.
• Make informed choices: Decide whether to proceed with pregnancy, consider prenatal testing, or explore assisted reproductive technologies.
• Prepare for the future: Plan for the potential challenges and needs of a child with a genetic disorder.
