Even though our governor is a complete fool, productive things do still happen in SC.

Understanding Prenatal Screening and Diagnosis of Down Syndrome from the Health Professional and Advocacy Community Perspectives

June 24, 2009. The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) and the National Down Syndrome Congress (NDSC) are pleased to share the results of an historic first meeting which brought representatives of five organizations (NDSS, NDSC, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Medical Genetics and the National Society of Genetic Counselors) together to discuss prenatal screening and diagnosis as related to Down syndrome. The University of South Carolina’s Genetic Counseling Program and Center for Disability Resources hosted a meeting of these medical and advocacy organizations. The two-day roundtable discussion resulted in a consensus document: “Toward Concurrence: Understanding Prenatal Screening and Diagnosis of Down Syndrome from the Health Professional and Advocacy Community Perspectives.”
