Many mothers who give birth to their babies are diagnosed with genetic diseases, which worries parents a lot. If the genetic disease is not severe, it is still easy to treat, but if the disease is severe, it can have a significant impact on the baby. So, if genetic inheritance can be diagnosed in the early stages of pregnancy, it can be completely prevented in advance. So, what family is involved in genetic analysis?
What family is involved in genetic analysis
1. Generally, genetic or eugenics departments in hospitals can conduct such examinations.
2. You can go to the department where you want to check for any disease.
3. Nowadays, many diseases are more or less related to genetics, so there is a need for genetic testing in various departments.
4. Pregnant women go to obstetrics, women go to gynecology, and after giving birth, they go to neonatology or pediatrics.
5. Some hospitals also have genetics departments, but they are mostly under the umbrella of larger departments. For example, prenatal diagnosis centers under obstetrics and gynecology have dedicated genetics rooms. Some diseases can affect intelligence and development, so go to the neurology department. Some of them affect metabolism, so go to the endocrinology department. Some can affect the skin, so go to a dermatologist.
What is hereditary disease
1. Genetic diseases refer to diseases caused by changes in genetic material or controlled by pathogenic genes.
2. Genetic diseases refer to diseases that are completely or partially determined by genetic factors, often congenital or acquired.
3. Genetic diseases such as Down syndrome, polydactyly, congenital deafness, hemophilia, etc. are completely determined by genetic factors and occur after a certain period of time from birth. Sometimes, it takes several years, decades, or even decades for obvious symptoms to appear.
In fact, if the current hospitals were not so formal, they would not have specifically opened a department for genetic testing to diagnose genetic pathology. However, many departments can perform genetic testing. You can go to the relevant consultation room to check which department you want to study. If genetic inheritance is not good for the baby, one can go to the hospital for amniocentesis in the early stages of pregnancy to diagnose whether the fetal genes are normal. If they are abnormal, intervention can be carried out in advance.
