Prevention of Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome in Children

Patient's question:

My son's classmate's hands look a bit ugly, as if they haven't developed well. There are many small pits on them, and the same goes for his feet. His mother said that he had been checked at the hospital before, and the doctor said he suffered from infantile basal cell nevus syndrome.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, premarital health checks play a positive role in preventing birth defects. The extent of their effectiveness depends on the examination items and content, mainly including serological tests (such as hepatitis B virus, syphilis spirochete, HIV), reproductive system examinations (such as screening for cervical inflammation), general physical examinations (such as blood pressure, electrocardiogram), as well as inquiries about family medical history and personal past medical history, to ensure proper genetic counseling.
