      Is genetic testing recommended before starting a family, even without any known risk factors?

      It can still be a useful step. Preconception carrier screening looks for common recessive conditions regardless of family history, since carriers usually have no symptoms and no way of knowing otherwise. It’s a proactive option some couples choose simply for peace of mind.
