  • Prenatal Screenings Can Lead to False Positives, Heightened Anxiety

    AAMC News - April 14, 2022

    Susan Klugman, M.D., comments on prenatal screenings, noting the differences between screenings, which detect potential disease, and tests that provide a diagnosis. Dr. Klugman is professor of pediatrics and of obstetrics & gynecology and women's health at Einstein, and director of reproductive and medical genetics at Montefiore.

  • The Benefits and Pitfalls of Prenatal Genetic Tests

    The New York Times - January 8, 2022

    In a letter to the editor, written in response to a story about false positives in prenatal genetic testing, Susan Klugman, M.D., explains that these tests, like mammography, are for screening, not diagnosis, and that healthcare practitioners with appropriate training must provide genetic counseling to parents prior to testing. Dr. Klugman is professor of pediatrics and of obstetrics & gynecology and women's health at Einstein, and director of reproductive and medical genetics at Montefiore.
