Patient's question:
I have ichthyosis, which is hereditary. I heard from a friend that there is now a test that can detect whether the baby has inherited ichthyosis during pregnancy, but I'm not sure about the specifics. I want to ask if it's true. If it is, where can I get this test done?Doctor's answer:
It is difficult to detect during pregnancy. If a check is indeed necessary, it can be done by examining the fetus's chromosomes. Suggestions: For example, amniocentesis can be performed to analyze the fetal chromosomes and check for specific chromosomal defects.
