Why gynaecological genetics matters?

Preconception & Family Planning

• Carrier Screening – checking if parents carry genetic mutations and risk of passing disorders e.g., Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, etc.

• Parental Karyotyping – analyses the parents’ chromosomal defects that could lead to recurrent miscarriages or pass on to child.

During Pregnancy

• Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) – for screening common chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome.

• Diagnostic Testing: Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) or Amniocentesis tests for a definitive genetic diagnosis.

• Extended Antenatal Screening for genetic mutations that cause conditions like cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, fragile X syndrome or other inherited disorders.

• Hereditary Cancer Risk – for young women with a strong family history of breast, ovarian, or colon cancer.
