Patient's question:
I want 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 hereditary transmission, it can be determined whether gene fragments are repeated due to the inheritance of genetic diseases with common defects. However, some carriers cannot be identified. It is very necessary to implement genetic diagnosis for this disease if it has autosomal dominant hereditary transmission or X-linked dominant hereditary transmission. If you conceive and suffer from the disease, the probability of your offspring being affected is 1 in 2, and the probability of boys being affected is 1 in 2, while the probability of girls being affected is 1 in 2. Therefore, it is necessary to first clarify what kind of hereditary condition is present and provide a detailed family history.
