Can chromosomes detect genetic diseases?

Genetic diseases are a phenomenon that is taken very seriously in contemporary life, because they bring great trouble to the health of many people and cause great damage to their lives. The only way to prevent genetic diseases is to make adequate preparations for examinations before pregnancy. Among them, screening for genetic diseases is very important. Chromosomes are usually used for examination. But can chromosomes detect genetic diseases?

Chromosome testing is a genetic test, which is mainly used to assess whether there is a corresponding disease susceptibility risk and to determine specific genetic problems.

Chromosome examination is to check whether there are structural abnormalities and variations in chromosomes, such as deletion, addition, translocation, inversion, etc. of a certain segment, so as to exclude or confirm the cause of infertility and the possibility of giving birth to a child with genetic diseases. Theoretically, many genetic diseases can be inferred based on the test results.

Checking chromosomes can only detect diseases caused by chromosome mutations. There are also different ways to check chromosomes. High-precision chromosome mapping is a new method for detecting chromosome variations, which is detected by high-density chip method. The test does not require living cells or culture, and the test results are digital.

Generally speaking, this examination is applicable to two situations. One is that there are various possible hereditary diseases in the family, such as mental retardation, physical development disorders, multiple malformations, congenital cardiovascular diseases, abnormal sex differentiation, and low fertility. There is another situation where, although there is no family history, if the person or spouse has a history of unexplained habitual miscarriage or a history of stillbirth or malformation after marriage, a peripheral blood leukocyte chromosome examination should be performed.

Genetic diseases that are not caused by chromosomes, that is, genetic diseases caused by single-site genes, small-scale deletions, and insertions, need to be detected through pathogenic gene identification and gene decoding. The difference between genetic testing and genetic decoding is that genetic decoding is good at interpreting various mutations. Genetic decoding generally covers a wider range and contains more complete information.

Whether you have any neurological or genetic disease, you should pay attention to proper rest and maintain your Qi and blood. Maintenance of proper diet. To avoid genetic influences, you can have a properly balanced diet.
