Patient's question:
I'd like to ask, with the current level of medical technology and skills, which genetic diseases and many other diseases can be detected through careful examination. Can prenatal tests detect chromosomal genetic diseases?Doctor's answer:
Through perinatal or autosomal dominant inheritance, it can be determined whether a gene fragment is repeated due to the inheritance of common genetic diseases. However, some carriers cannot be identified. It is very necessary to implement genetic diagnosis for this disease if it has autosomal dominant or X-linked dominant inheritance. If you conceive and the offspring suffers from the disease, the probability of the child being affected is 1 in 2, and the probability of a boy being affected is 1 in 2, while the probability of a girl being affected is also 1 in 2. Therefore, it is necessary to first clarify the type of inheritance and provide a detailed family history.
