ABSTRACT
PIP: Parents of a group of children with congenital heart disease attendi ng the Yale-New Haven Pediatric Clinic were given genetic counseling which included an explanation of the genetic basis for their child's cardiac lesion and the risk of probable recurrence. This group was questioned 6 months later and compared to a control group of parents which did not receive the genetic counseling lecture. There was a highly significant (at the p less than .005 level) difference in genetic knowledge and knowledge of recurrence risk between the counseled and the control group. This type of counseling is recommended for parents of children with congenital heart disease.
