Patient's question:
The first child suffers from a hereditary metabolic disease. I would like to ask whether this disease belongs to what category of diseases, whether it is a hereditary family disease, or whether it was caused by other issues during pregnancy. Will the second child also have the same condition? Both parents' elders across several generations do not have a history of hereditary diseases.Doctor's answer:
Hello, hereditary metabolic diseases are a type of genetic disease. For the second pregnancy, fetal amniotic fluid cytology examination should be performed to detect early whether there are genetic diseases, so that a healthy and excellent baby can be born, achieving the goal of eugenics.
