Prevention is better than cure! Genetic carrier testing can help couples avoid inherited disorders and ensure a healthy future for their children. Experts at PGICH Noida emphasize the importance of early testing for conditions like thalassemia and SMA. February marks Rare Diseases Awareness Month, emphasizing the need for genetic testing to prevent inherited disorders. Since many genetic conditions have no cure, early screening is crucial. ▪ Dr. A.K. Singh (Director, PGICH Noida) highlights that countries like the UAE mandate genetic counseling before marriage to prevent hereditary diseases. ▪ India, with its high prevalence of same-caste marriages, faces increased genetic risks. PGICH Noida promotes pre-marital and pre-conception genetic screening to help couples plan for a healthy pregnancy. ▪ PGICH Noida runs a daily Medical Genetics OPD, providing consultation and management for rare genetic disorders under the U.P. government. ▪ Dr. Mayank Nicky (Medical Geneticist, PGICH Noida) states that conditions like thalassemia and SMA have a 3% carrier frequency in India. ▪ If both partners carry a gene mutation, there is a 25% risk of passing the disorder to their child. ▪ Couples can opt for Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to select healthy embryos or undergo fetal screening during pregnancy. ▪ Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests can be misleading without expert advice. ▪ Clinical geneticists and advanced methods like Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) help detect Cystic Fibrosis, Inborn Errors of Metabolism, and congenital disorders. ▪ Genetic screening aids in proper family planning, reducing health risks and medical burdens. ▪ Raising awareness can help prevent disorders like breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and heart conditions linked to genetic mutations. Experts at PGICH Noida emphasize that early genetic screening can prevent life-threatening hereditary conditions, reducing morbidity and ensuring a healthier community. #MeUP #MedicalEducation #GeneticCarrierTesting #RareDiseaseDay #Pediatrics #UttarPradesh #Noida @PGIChildHealth @UPGovt @MoHFW_INDIA
