Genetic Counselling By Dr. Salah Jadallah What Is Genetic Counseling? Genetic counseling is the process of: evaluating family history and medical records ordering genetic tests evaluating the results of this investigation helping parents understand and reach decisions about what to do next االستشارة الوراثية مهمة قبل الزواج النها تساعد في كشف االمراض الوراثية واالمراض التي تبقى منتقلة من جيل الى اخر Genetic Counseling strong communicative and supportive element إجراء فحوصات ما قبل الزواج والفحص أثناء الحمل والفحص المبكر للمواليد واالستشارة الوراثية تعد من أفضل الوسائل للحد من انتشار األمراض الوراثية التي ال يمكن عالجها بشكل نهائي Genetic counselor Genetic counselors can help identify and interpret the risks of an inherited disorder, explain inheritance patterns, suggest testing, and lay out possible scenarios. He refers you to a doctor or a laboratory for the actual tests. The best time to seek genetic counseling is before becoming pregnant, when a counselor can help assess your risk factors. But even after you become pregnant, a meeting with a genetic counselor can still be helpful. الهدف من االستشارة الوراثية للبحث في تاريخ العائلة المرضي ومحاولة معرفة اذا كان هناك امراض وراثية مثل وجود حاالت وفيات االجنة بسبب عيوب خلقية او حاالت اجهاض متكررة او وجود مواليد لديهن بعض االعاقات او الخلل في السمع او البصر او النطق او تأخر في التحصيل العلمي. أقارب من الدرجة األولى (اإلخوة واألخوات ،واآلباء ، واألبناء) أقارب من الدرجة الثانية (عم ،عمة ،جد ،ابن شقيق ، بنت أخت) أقارب من الدرجة الثالثة (ابناء العم) من هم المرضى المرشحين إلجراء استشارة وراثية؟ قصة شخصية أو عائلية لمرض وراثي. تشوه خلقي اضطراب صبغي األمراض السرطانية التي تورث قصة اسقاطين للحمل أو أكثر والدة مولود متوفى المرأة الحامل بعمر أكثر من 35سنة أو التي ترغب بالحمل بعد هذا العمر تحاليل دموية ترجح مشكلة وراثية أو صبغية. بعض األمراض الوراثية لها ارتباط عرقي معين األزواج ذوي القرابة (أبناء عموم أو خال ...الخ Why Genetic Counselling is Recommended Counselling is recommend for any of the following reasons: 1- A couple plans to start a family and one of them or a close relative has an inherited illness. 2- A parent already has one child with a severe birth defect. Not all children who have birth defects have genetic problems. Sometimes, birth defects are caused by exposure to a toxin (poison), infection, or physical trauma before birth. Often, the cause of a birth defect isn't known. Even if a child does have a genetic problem, there's always a chance that it wasn't inherited and that it happened because of some spontaneous error in the child's cells, not the parents' cells. 3- A woman has had two or more miscarriages. Severe chromosome problems in the fetus can sometimes lead to a spontaneous miscarriage. Several miscarriages may point to a genetic problem. 4- A woman has delivered a stillborn child with physical signs of a genetic illness. Many serious genetic illnesses cause specific physical abnormalities that give an affected child a very distinctive appearance. 5- The pregnant woman is over age 34. Chances of having a child with a chromosomal problem (such as trisomy) increase when a pregnant woman is older. Older fathers are at risk to have children with new dominant genetic mutations (those caused by a single genetic defect that hasn't run in the family before). 6- A standard prenatal screening test had an abnormal result. If a screening test indicates a possible genetic problem, genetic testing may be recommended 7- A child has medical problems that might be genetic. When a child has medical problems involving more than one body system, genetic testing may be recommended to identify the cause and make a diagnosis. 8- A child has medical problems that are recognized as a specific genetic syndrome. Genetic testing is performed to confirm the diagnosis. In some cases, it also might aid in identifying the specific type or severity of a genetic illness, which can help identify the most appropriate treatment. Steps in Genetic Counseling Genetic counseling generally involves six steps: Family and medical history assessment. Analysis of genetic information (e.g., family history, genetic test results). Communication of genetic risk information. Education about inheritance, genetic testing, management, risk reduction, resources and research opportunities. Supportive counseling to facilitate informed choices and adaptation to the risk or condition. Follow up. This may include a written summary, provision of referrals, and/or subsequent genetic counseling session(s).

The doctor removes a small piece of the placenta to check for genetic problems in the fetus. This can be tested to check Chromosomes, Enzymes, DNA Ultrasound This can be tested to check Fetal Anatomy PCR FISH technique Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is used to visualize and map the genetic material in an individual's cells, including specifc genes or portions of genes. This is important for understanding a variety of chromosomal abnormalities and other genetic mutations.

With its potential to eliminate and prevent hereditary diseases such as cystic fibrosis and hemophilia and its use as a possible cure for heart disease, AIDS, and cancer gene therapy is a potential medical miracle-worker. But what about gene therapy for children? There's a fair amount of risk involved, so thus far only seriously ill kids or those with illnesses that can't be cured by standard medical treatments have been involved in clinical trials using gene therapy. As those studies continue, gene therapy may soon offer hope for children with serious illnesses that don't respond to conventional therapies. About Newborn Screening Testing every newborn for certain harmful disorders at birth. Many of these are metabolic disorders "inborn errors of metabolism") that interfere with the body's use of nutrients to maintain healthy tissues and produce energy. Other disorders that screening can detect include problems with hormones or the blood. What are common genetic disorders? Cystic fibrosis – Cystic fibrosis is tested by examining 32 different mutations in a particular gene. The disorder affects the normal movement of salt in and out of cells that line the lungs and pancreas. This produces a thick, sticky mucus which leads to frequent lung infections. Down syndrome – Down syndrome is the most common genetic birth defect, often resulting in multiple abnormalities. It is caused by an extra chromosome and results in some degree of mental retardation, heart defects and problems with vision and hearing. Down syndrome is tested for by taking a blood sample and performing a chromosome analysis. Neurofibromatosis I – Neurofibromatosis I is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene. This gene makes a protein called neurofibromin, which is responsible for keeping cells from growing and dividing rapidly. Mutations in the NF1 gene cause tumors to form on nerves throughout the body. Sickle cell disease – Sickle cell disease is caused by a red blood cell disorder. Hemoglobin electrophoresis, a test that measures the different types of hemoglobin in the blood, is used to diagnose the disease. Tay-Sachs disease – Tay-Sachs disease is caused by the absence of a vital enzyme called hexosaminidase-A (HexA). Without Hex-A, a fatty substance builds up in cells, especially in the brain’s nerve cells. This ongoing buildup causes progressive cell damage. Tests for the disease measure the amount of Hex-A in the blood or in white blood cells.
