Prevention is challenging but not impossible. Some strategies include:
Genetic Counseling - Provides prospective parents with information about their risk of having a child with a genetic disorder. Prenatal Care - Regular check-ups and prenatal vitamins can help ensure a healthy pregnancy. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) - Used in conjunction with IVF, PGD allows for the selection of embryos without genetic abnormalities.
