Preventing+Inheritance+of+Disorder

An option for genetic testing of parents is possible, to see the risk of the offspring inheriting the disorder, and to avoid passing on the the disorder. In genetic testing, a sample of your body fluid is examined, and it determines the chance of passing on the disorder to the offspring. Parents may undergo genetic testing before or after the birth of the offspring. The results and meaning of the test is then discussed with a genetic counselor. (Genetics Home Reference, NCBI)
