  • A personal or family history of a genetic disorder
  • Evaluation of developmental delay, mental retardation, and/or birth defects
  • Carrier testing due to specific ethnic backgrounds (e.g., Ashkenazi Jewish, French-Canadian, Mediterranean, African American, etc.) or consanguinity
  • A previous child with a birth defect or mental retardation
  • A personal history of multiple miscarriages
  • The risk of recurrence of a genetic disorder
  • The treatment or care of a genetic disorder
  • Personal and/or family history of a hereditary cancer predisposition
