We produced a short digital film on telegenetic counselingfor pregnant women of advanced maternal age. Reasoning thatthe increasing number of women and couples requiring genetictesting, many of whom will not have easy access to counseling centers, need a standardized, reliable approach, we explain the genetic risks associated with advanced maternal age, as well as possible preventive measures, prenatal testing procedures (both invasive and noninvasive), laboratory assessment methods (stating the specificity and accuracy of the available tests), and best-practice communication of results. We also explain any possible causes of test failure and stress the role of the medical geneticist and the importance of effective communication during genetic counseling. This video is freely available in both English and Italian (www.ospfe.it/geneticamedica).It is our hope that this initiative will facilitate communication among geneticists, obstetricians, pregnant women, and all stakehold ers involved in prenatal care and diagnosis
