Population: The analysis population included parents of infants enrolled in the BabySeq project. Data was not available for all participants due to withdrawal or non-responsiveness to follow up surveys.

Parents' Distress was assessed using validated scales measuring Anxiety and Depression, and a novel item assessing Blame with responses ranging from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate more distress. Anxiety per the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale anxiety subscale (baseline, post-disclosure, and 3 months; scores ranging from 0 to 9); Anxiety per the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (3 months and 10 months; scores ranging from 0 to 21); Depression per the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (baseline, post-disclosure, and 3 months; scores ranging from 0 to 30); Depression per the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (3 months and 10 months; scores ranging from 0 to 30); Self-blame per a novel item (3 months and 10 months)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline through 10 post-disclosure, with time points varying by measure. (Post-disclosure approx. 5 months after baseline; 3-months approx. 8 months after baseline; 10-months approx. 15 months after baseline)

Population: The analysis population included parents of infants enrolled in the BabySeq project. Data was not available for all participants due to withdrawal or non-responsiveness to follow up surveys.

Parent-Child Relationship was assessed using validated scales measuring parents' perceptions of parenting stress (General parenting stress per the Parenting Stress Index™, 4th Edition Short Form (10 months); scores range from 36 to 180), how vulnerable they perceive their child to be (Parents' perception of baby's vulnerability per the Vulnerable Baby Scale (baseline, postdisclosure, 3 months, 10 months); scores range from 4 to 20), and how they are bonding with their child (Parent-child bonding per the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (baseline, postdisclosure, 3 months, 10 months); scores range from 0 to 24). Lower bonding scores indicate more problems with bonding. For other measures, higher scores indicate higher stress and perceptions of vulnerability.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline through 10 post-disclosure, with time points varying by measure. Post-disclosure approx. 5 months after baseline; 3-months approx. 8 months after baseline; 10-months approx. 15 months after baseline.

Population: The analysis population included parents of infants enrolled in the BabySeq project. Data was not available for all participants due to withdrawal or non-responsiveness to follow up surveys.

Parents' Relationship was assessed using validated and novel measures of marital satisfaction using the Relationship satisfaction per the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale (3 months; scores ranging from 3 to 15), relationship conflict per a novel item (all time points; scores ranging from 1 to 5), and partner blame per a novel item (3 months and 10 months; scores ranging from 1 to 5). Higher scores on Satisfaction indicates more Satisfaction. Higher scores on Conflict and Blame indicate higher conflict and blame.

Population: The analysis population included parents of infants enrolled in the BabySeq project. Data was not available for all participants due to withdrawal or non-responsiveness to follow up surveys.

A novel survey item asked participants to rate the usefulness of whole genome sequencing results for managing health on a 1-10 scale at baseline and 3 months post-disclosure. Responses were on a 10-point scale anchored by "not at all useful" (1) to "extremely useful" (10).
