Uptake of prenatal genetic diagnosis and termination of pregnancy by Omani Muslim families at risk of genetic disorders: experience over a 9-year period.

Studies on the acceptance of prenatal diagnosis and termination of pregnancy for single gene disorders within Islamic societies in the Middle East are limited. A few have examined the attitudes toward pregnancy termination for fetal indications, but a dearth of published data exists on actual behavior and uptake. This study reports on all prenatal diagnosis requests for single gene disorders, from the Sultanate of Oman, over 9 years.
