Hi doctor, My cousin and I are getting married this summer. When we consulted a doctor for normal blood test and genetic test, they said no genetic test is needed which was quiet weird for me. We both want biological children, and I wouldn't want to risk it.
Now my question is, will the premarital normal blood test detect all possible genetic disorders? Or genetic test is needed at any condition?

Hi!
Its really unfortunate that your cousin is suffering from Muscular dystrophy. A female baby from your aunt could survive, but the odds of her being the carrier of Muscular dystrophy is high. She may be healthy, but she can pass-on the disease to her son. Hence its recommended to get a genetic testing of the developing fetus and take gene therapy to prevent and eradicate the disease from occurring in future generations...

Hello doctor. My son is having primary microcephaly. He is going to regular school and takes help of special educators. He had delay in speech and we took him to a speech therepist for that. He will turn 5years old in march. We now want to plan for our second child but we are worried that our second should not suffer from any such thing. Please suggest what all tests we shall get done before conceiving and from where. We live in delhi. Plz suggest some good doctor also.

Dear gk.09,
Microcephaly could either occur as an isolated feature or at most times, as a part of a syndrome [along with other clinical features]. The causative genes are several hence, you a panel of genes will need to tested to find out the specific genetic cause in your son. Only then, can you opt for prenatal diagnosis where in it is possible at 3 to 4 months of pregnancy to test if your fetus had also inherited the same genetic condition.
