For the most part, these would be autosomal recessive conditions for which both parents are heterozygous. Take a good pedigree (at least 3 generations) looking for specific history of conditions that are amenable to antenatal diagnosis by invasive testing (such as CF, TSD) or ultrasound (some of the skeletal dysplasias are inherited in this fashion). There is not an increased risk for aneuploidy, per se.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
