Patient and health care practitioner experiences and perspectives on expanded carrier screening: A scoping review

Carrier screening identifies individuals/couples at risk for autosomal recessive conditions, and expanded or universal approaches are increasingly being recommended. Implementation poses clinical, ethical, and logistical challenges that remain underexplored. This scoping review synthesized patient/public and health care practitioner experiences and perspectives on expanded carrier screening (ECS) and universal carrier screening. A search of 4 databases identified 1433 records, plus 19 additional studies.
