October 7: Case Based Webinar - Part IV

Includes a Live Web Event on 10/07/2026 at 12:00 PM (CDT)

Join us for an engaging, case-based webinar that brings the realities of genetic counseling into focus through complex, real-world clinical scenarios. In this interactive session, expert genetic counselors will present challenging cases, including a prenatal whole exome sequencing workup that led to variant reclassification, cascade testing across an extended family, and unexpected management implications for the pregnant patient; a rare prenatal skeletal dysplasia case complicated by unexpected parental carrier testing results; and a family undergoing repeated diagnostic and counseling shifts as new genetic evidence challenged established disease expectations. Together, these cases highlight evolving genetic knowledge, complex result interpretation, nuanced risk assessment, and the counseling strategies needed to support patients and families facing uncertainty.

Presented by:

1. Nour Chanouha, MS, CGC
2. Olivia Kessler, MS, LCGC
3. Hannah S. Anderson, MS, CGC

Learning Objectives:

1. Evaluate a prenatal genetics case with unexpected results and the implications on recurrence risk and next steps.
2. Evaluate complex genetic results disclosure plans based on multiple clinical and psychosocial factors.
