Topics covered will be current prenatal screening and diagnostic testing\, impact on prenatal care\, and resources for expectant parents. \nWhat You Will Learn: \nI am a clinical prenatal genetic counselor. In my clinical practice I routinely care for patients who are carrying a pregnancy with a suspected or known prenatal diagnosis of monosomy X. I have also provided preconception counseling to patients who have mosaic or full Turner syndrome. Participants should have a better understanding of the benefits and limitations of current prenatal screening for monosomy X and the importance of additional clinical follow-up for positive screens. Participants will also learn about the wide clinical spectrum of monosomy X in the prenatal period. There continues to be broad misconceptions about the accuracy\, benefits\, and limitations of current prenatal screening\, and this talk will touch on many of these. Additionally\, every couple has a chance to have a child or pregnancy with TS\, so this information is relevant to any person considering having a child. Finally\, a cursory google search about prenatal turner syndrome or monosomy X often yields inaccurate information\, leading the general population to often have misconceptions about the prenatal features of TS. \nWho Should Attend:\nIndividuals\, allied health professionals\, educators\, administrators\, and policymakers are encouraged to attend. \nAbout the Presenter: \nEmily Green\, Masters of Genetic Counseling\, 2021 PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology\, 2019 Masters of Cellular and Molecular Biology\, 2016 Certified Genetic Counselor\, 2022 \nI am a clinical genetic counselor specializing in prenatal and reproductive genetics at the University of Washington. I primarily see patients referred to our high-risk prenatal clinic\, though I also see patients for preconception counseling before or after pregnancy. I routinely see patients who have had abnormal noninvasive prenatal screening and/or abnormal ultrasound findings\, including cases of potential monosomy X. I am passionate about providing information and support to all my patients\, particularly those who experience an unexpected diagnosis during pregnancy. I am also a mentor and clinical supervisor for University of Washington genetic counseling students. \nI was raised in the Pacific Northwest and grew up with a passion for biology. This led me to pursue undergraduate studies at Western Washington University. While at Western I also continued studies in French\, which led me to a Masters and PhD in cellular and Molecular biology in Strasbourg\, France\, where I focused primarily on developing strategies to block malaria transmission by mosquitoes. A desire to move away from research and into applied work led me to genetic counseling\, which merges my interest in genetics with my desire to work with people and support patients. I graduated from the University of Arizona genetic counseling program in 2019 and since that time have been working at the University of Washington Medical Center. Outside of my clinical work\, I enjoy all the outdoor activities Washington has to offer\, as well as social dancing and knitting. \nPlease Donate!\nIt is free to register. We ask you to please donate\, if you can\, to support our work in providing enriching education programs for all. Your donation today helps to make programs like this one readily available to anyone virtually anywhere in the world. \nDonations and sponsorships make learning events such as this WE LEARN webinar activity to be provided freely and accessible to everyone. Show your commitment to the cause – become a 1938 Sustaining Supporter.
