Genetic testing advances ignored by physicians say experts
Rhode Island pediatrician Dr. Tamah L. Sadick criticizes doctors for ignorance of expanding genetic testing and birth defect prevention. AAAS panel notes rapid growth in prenatal diagnosis and infant screening, with amniocentesis gaining safety evidence since 1975. Harvard and Yale researchers cite a fourfold rise in use and potential benefits for women over 35.

Advances in prenatal blood tests noted for genetic disorders
The Journal-World reports estimates of 160,600 pregnancies annually among women over 35 or with genetic risk. Blood sampling from the unborn child may detect sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The procedure carries about a five to eight percent miscarriage risk. After birth over 30 inherited conditions can be found by blood tests, but screening remains underutilized.
