Little is known about the attitudes of genetic counselors towards expanding NBS and offering predictive genetic tests to children. For our study genetic counselors completed an internet survey posted on the National Society of Genetic Counselors Listserv regarding five conditions: cystic fibrosis (CF), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), glucose\u20106\u2010phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD), fragile X (FraX), and type 1 diabetes (T1D). The survey addressed attitudes towards: (1) testing high\u2010risk infants; (2) mandatory NBS; (3) population screening beyond the newborn period; and (4) testing one's own child. Two hundred sixty\u2010seven usable surveys were received. Over two\u2010thirds of respondents supported testing high\u2010risk infants for all conditions except T1D (22%). CF was the only condition for which there was majority support for both mandatory NBS (56%) and later population screening (60%). For all other conditions, later population screening was preferred over NBS (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.01). Genetic counselors were most likely to test their own child for CF (46%) and least likely to test their own child for T1D (6%). For each condition, genetic counselors were more likely to support NBS if they chose to screen their own newborn (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Attitudes towards NBS were not influenced by year of graduation or professional experience. We can conclude that genetic counselors are supportive of targeted testing of high\u2010risk infants. They prefer voluntary population screening with consent to mandatory NBS for conditions that challenge Wilson and Jungner criteria. Their support for NBS correlates with their interest in testing their own children and not with professional experience. \u00a9 2006 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.31485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,11]],"date-time":"2006-10-11T19:59:55Z","timestamp":1160596795000},"page":"2312-2319","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Attitudes of genetic counselors towards expanding newborn screening and offering predictive genetic testing to children"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"140A","author":[{"given":"Susan","family":"Hiraki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kelly E.","family":"Ormond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katherine","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lainie Friedman","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-0453"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.107.6.1451"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","first-page":"383","article-title":"Serving the family from birth to the medical home","volume":"106","author":"American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Newborn Screening Task Force","year":"2000","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","unstructured":"American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG)\/Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA).2005.Newborn screening: Toward a uniform screening panel and system.http:\/\/mchb.hrsa.gov\/screening\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","first-page":"1233","article-title":"ASHG\/ACMG report: Points to consider: Ethical, legal, and psychosocial implications of genetic testing in children and adolescents","volume":"57","author":"American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG)\/American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG)","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am J Hum Genet"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/096973309900600205"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mrdd.20002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2004-2571"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-2547"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/109065703322146803"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"42","DOI":"10.1093\/pch\/8.1.42","article-title":"Guidelines for genetic testing of healthy children","volume":"8","author":"Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS)","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Paediatr Child Health"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-3797(98)00142-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1353\/ken.1998.0014"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00125817-200109000-00006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200204043461411"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199406023302213"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0029-7844(01)01766-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrg1526"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(02)07948-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(98)10028-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgme.2005.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.106.3.595"},{"volume-title":"Assessing genetic risks: Implications for health and social policy","year":"1994","author":"Institute of Medicine (IOM)","key":"e_1_2_7_24_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.106.6.1478"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmwh.2005.01.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-1990"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_7_28_1","article-title":"Newborn screening, banking, and consent","volume":"2","author":"Laberge C","year":"2004","journal-title":"GenEdit"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_29_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10897-005-4802-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_30_1","unstructured":"National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC).2004.Professional Status Survey.http:\/\/www.nsgc.org\/careers\/2004_PSS_Final_pw.pdf."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_31_1","unstructured":"National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC).2006.Code of Ethics developed 1\/92 and revised 12\/04 1\/06.
