Abstract:
With the rapid development of molecular diagnostic technology and the increased public awareness of eugenics, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) technology has been widely used in clinical practice in recent years. Genetic counseling is provided throughout all stages of PGT and is an important guarantee for carrying on the PGT work smoothly. At present, there is a lack of laws and regulations governing how PGT genetic counseling should be conducted, there is also no nationally standardized training system and certification bodies, and expert consensus and guidelines are also scarce, so it is necessary to develop practical processes and standards for genetic counseling of PGT. Therefore, it is essential to develop practical procedures and standards for genetic counseling of PGT, to ensure the smooth implementation of the PGT process, and to minimize the risk of birth defects. This article makes a comprehensive review and discussion on the standardization of genetic counseling of PGT from the current situation and standardization construction of the genetic counseling system, combined with the actual situation worldwide and existing laws and regulations.
