Most people die in their twenties and thirties, which will affect our normal life, because after this age, they are only their own shadow, and the rest of their lives are spent in imitation of themselves, more mechanically and more pretentiously repeating what they do, think, love and hate in their lifetime. Now I'd like to introduce to you the objects of genetic counseling?.

What are the targets of genetic counseling?

First, when the parents' genetic material is defective, genetic diseases may appear at birth or during the development of the child. According to statistics, the Premarital Check-up rate of newlyweds in China is less than 2.7%, and even zero in some places. Not participating in premarital examination and pregnancy examination is one of the important reasons leading to the defect peak!

Second: genetic counseling is a process in which professionals or physicians answer the questions raised by the consultants about the causes, genetic patterns, diagnosis, prognosis, recurrence risk rate, prevention and treatment of genetic diseases in families, and put forward suggestions on marriage and childbirth.

Third: through genetic counseling to understand whether it is suitable for re birth, the probability of re birth of children, there is no treatment or avoidance measures. Some congenital abnormalities do not come from heredity, but occur randomly when the parents' eggs or sperm are formed. Environmental factors can not be ignored. Such patients should also seek the help of genetic counseling.

Generally speaking, with the development of science, although we have been able to solve many clinical problems, there are still more problems to be solved, including the unknown birth defects. The current screening or screening can only prevent as many known birth defects as possible, but not all of them. Some uncontrollable and unknown factors make us unable to avoid birth defects 100%. This may be a manifestation of the basic law of human evolution.
