Can prenatal tests detect porphyria?

Patient's question:

I'm already 31 years old and afraid of having another child because I'm afraid it will worsen my condition. And I have a close relative who is like a porcelain doll, which makes me very worried about experiencing this kind of emotion again. Can porcelain dolls be detected during this period?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if you go to the hospital for a detailed abdominal ultrasound examination, you can determine whether the child is a porcelain baby patient through the results of the examination. It may easily recur again, even if it is just a slight one, it may also cause severe bone problems. It is a rare genetic bone disease. This disease is mainly hereditary and has a history of intergenerational inheritance in the family. If no one in the family has this disease during the intergenerational inheritance investigation process, there is no need to worry too much.
