Prenatal Genetics
Prenatal genetics focus on finding the genetic disorders in the growing baby (fetus) during pregnancy period before 20 weeks of gestation with the help of genetic screening, testing, and genetic counseling in women with high risk pregnancy that includes:
Any abnormalities found in the fetus in antenatal scan
Family history of genetic disorder
Previous child with genetic disorder
Abnormal biochemical screening test
Increased maternal age
Prenatal genetic screening, genetic testing, and counseling will help the parents to take informed decisions about their pregnancy.
Pediatric Genetics
Pediatric genetics focus on birth defects and genetic disorders in children, and adolescent (younger than 18 years). Chromosomal aberrations, inherited or de-novo mutations in certain genes that are responsible for the development and metabolism of fetus results in genetic disorder since birth.
In India, Down syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Triple X syndrome, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Spinal-muscular atrophy (SMA), Thalassemia, Haemophilia, Cystic Fibrosis, Klinefelter syndrome, Cleft palate/lip, Marfan syndrome, Inborn-errors of metabolism, congenital hearing loss, etc. are the most common genetic disorders in children.
