Attitudes toward prenatal genetic testing and therapeutic termination of pregnancy among parents of offspring with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Abstract：

INTRODUCTION:Prenatal diagnosis (PND) raises ethical dilemmas such as the option of termination of pregnancy (TOP) in cases with severe outcome. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a complex neurogenetic syndrome with high morbidity and mortality throughout life. Recently, a unique prenatal phenotype was reported and TOP becomes a possibility. OBJECTIVE:To explore factors influencing the attitudes of parents of PWS children toward PND and TOP concerning a hypothetical pregnancy with a PWS fetus. METHODS:All 85 parents of individuals with PWS were interviewed regarding their attitudes towards PND and TOP using semi-structured questionnaire. RESULTS:Fifty-seven parents were supportive of invasive PND and 28 of non-invasive tests only; none opposed PND. Thirty eight favored TOP, additional 31 supported TOP under certain conditions such as spiritual advice, 15 were categorically against TOP. Attitudes correlated with religiosity (p < 0.025), mother's education (p < 0.001), mother's work status (p < 0.001), current age of the child with PWS (p < 0.008). Couples had similar attitudes regarding PND and TOP. No correlation was found with gender, genetic subtype and parental age. CONCLUSIONS:Most parents of individuals with PWS support PND, however less than half support TOP. Religiosity was the most influential factor. Familial worldview should be taken into account during prenatal counseling.
