LAUSR

This Practice Resource (PR) is provided by the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) solely to serve as a helpful practicemanagement resource and tool for genetic counselors and other healthcare providers. NSGC’s PRs are not based on a systematic evidence review; instead, they are based on the recommendations and experience of the authors. Each NSGC PR focuses on a clinical or practice-based issue, includes points for the genetic counselor or other healthcare providers to consider, and is based on review and analysis of current professional literature that the authors believe to be reliable. As such, the information provided and ideas discussed in NSGC’s PRs (a) reflect only the current scientific and clinical knowledge at the time of publication; (b) are only current as of their publication date; and (c) are subject to change without notice as advances emerge. Practice Resources do not (and are not intended to) dictate an exclusive course of management, nor guarantee a particular outcome. NSGC’s PRs are never intended to displace a genetic counselor’s or other healthcare provider’s best medical judgment based on the clinical circumstances of a particular patient or patient population. NSGC publishes PRs for educational and informational purposes only, and neither ‘approves’ nor ‘endorses’ any specific methods, practices, or sources of information contained therein. 2 | PURPOSE
