The possibility of sequencing hundreds of genes simultaneously and to perform molecular karyotypes thanks to the implementation of the new genetic tools is allowing to realize, with relative facility, the preconceptional screening of recessive mutations and the aneuploidies of the blastocysts before the transfer, whose purpose is to increase the rate of normal and healthy newborn. As the medically assisted reproduction procedures are increasingly required to be eugenic, and the aforementioned genetic tests only cover half of the potential genetic pathology occurring at birth, it seems reasonable to the incorporation of genetic counseling in the practice of assisted reproduction to avoid a possible demand for lack of medical responsibility.
