We report the first clinical experience of using next generation sequencing based ECS in 101 high-risk couples seeking consultation in the Genetics Clinic, at a tertiary healthcare center in Pakistan, showing that over 80% high-risk individuals are carriers of at least one condition and 45% of couples receive an actionable result to making autonomous informed reproductive decisions in future pregnancies.
