MY GOAL
Are you planning to have children? Whether it's a first baby or a second, etc., I can share information which will help you determine your probabilities of having a baby with a genetic condition. This is information which all expectant parents should know, but unfortunately it is not well known or parents learn about it after the birth of a sick child! We all carry mutations in some of our genes, but depending on your medical history, illnesses in your family or ethnicity, your probability of having a child with a genetic condition may be higher than the general population. If so, you might like to know before you are pregnant.
Are you planning a pregnancy? Have you thought ab0ut your genes?
Did you know that you can learn about your couple’s genetics and take action before having a baby? Take folic acid, for example, but also explore your medical history and that of your family. There may even be genetic tests to which you are entitled given your ethnic or geographic origin.

Some genetic diseases are more common in populations sharing the same ethnic or geographic origin. Changes in genes that cause disease occurred a long time ago and have been passed down from generation to generation by common ancestors. But, we are not always aware of the presence of these diseases in our family. They are often recessive disorders: “recessive” meaning “hidden”, that is, the carriers show no signs of the disease, but they could pass it on to their children.
