Genetic Disorders Screening

Genetic disorders screening is a process that tests individuals, often before or during pregnancy, to identify the risk of specific inherited conditions. This involves analyzing DNA for mutations that could lead to diseases like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia. Screening can inform personal health decisions and family planning. It typically includes blood tests, and results may help guide medical care or further diagnostic testing. While screening can provide valuable information, it may also raise ethical and emotional considerations, requiring careful discussion with healthcare professionals.
