We aimed to examine the opinions of parents' having a child with ASD, on genetic testing, in a Turkish sample. 951 parents' attitudes towards genetic testing were included. 89.1% of the parents did not take a genetic test during pregnancy. 87.6% of the parents agreed to take a genetic test if it could explain the cause of ASDs. 93% agreed to take a genetic test, if it would help to have a better treatment in the future. 63.8% of the participants would approve the storage of their DNA samples for the future studies. 94.8% considered being informed about the purpose of taking DNA material for the early diagnosis and 84.2% considered being suggested genetic tests for early diagnosis as important.
我们旨在研究土耳其样本中，父母对患有 ASD 孩子进行基因检测的看法。本研究纳入了 951 名家长对基因检测的态度。89.1%的父母在怀孕期间没有进行基因检测。87.6%的父母表示，如果基因检测能解释 ASD 的病因，他们会同意进行检测。93%的父母表示，如果基因检测有助于未来获得更好的治疗，他们会同意进行检测。63.8%的参与者会同意存储他们的 DNA 样本以备未来的研究。94.8%的参与者认为在进行早期诊断时应该告知他们获取 DNA 样本的目的，84.2%的参与者认为早期诊断建议进行基因检测很重要。
