How Can Hereditary Neonatal Disorders Be Prevented?
While not all hereditary disorders can be prevented, several measures can reduce the risk:
Preconception Screening: Couples planning to conceive can undergo genetic testing to determine their carrier status for certain conditions. Prenatal Testing: Techniques like amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling can diagnose genetic conditions before birth. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): This technique screens embryos for genetic disorders before implantation.
