Abstract
This chapter considers the contingent use of prenatal DNA tests for anomaly pregnancy screening and examines the informational and ethical implications of different test variants for pregnant women. The focus is on the recall and reflex test variants. The recall method uses a two-stage screening process, whereby higher risk patients are recalled for the option of stage 2 DNA or invasive testing. The reflex method retains a separate blood sample at stage 1, which is automatically used for DNA testing if the stage 1 markers identify a higher risk case. Here the patient receives an amalgam of the test results from both stages in a single data report. The question is whether these different packaging variants have any implications for the informational interests of pregnant women.
