Factors that Influence Uptake of Genetic Testing for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Scoping Review
Genetic testing is recommended for all children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet available evidence suggests that not all receive appropriate genetic testing. We conducted a scoping review of factors that influence parent/caregiver uptake of genetic testing for their children with ASD. Overall, 37 articles met inclusion criteria. Themes included widespread lack of awareness of genetic testing recommendations but also varying interest in genetic testing once aware. Potential barriers included insurance and financial concerns, logistical challenges, and the lack of belief that genetics can cause ASD. Findings highlight the need to (a) better educate parents about practical benefits of genetic testing and causes of ASD and (b) increase insurance coverage and mitigate costs to improve uptake of genetic testing.
期刊介绍:
The Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders publishes original articles that provide critical reviews of topics across the broad interdisciplinary research fields of autism spectrum disorders. Topics range from basic to applied and include but are not limited to genetics, neuroscience, diagnosis, applied behavior analysis, psychopharmacology, incidence, prevalence, etiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, measurement of treatment effects, education, perception and cognition. Topics across the life span are appropriate. In addition, given the high rates of comorbid conditions, the interface of sleep disorders, feeding problems, motor difficulties, ADHD, anxiety, depression and other disorders with autism spectrum disorders are appropriate. The Journal aims for an international audience as reflected in the editorial board.
