This publication critically reviews the data available on the epidemiological characteristics of congenital and genetically determined disorders and evaluates their present magnitude within the Region. Prevention of Genetic Disease Genetic counseling Genetic screening and testing Carrier Screening It is estimated that without a control program, new cases of beta •Abdominal wall defect •Congenital nephrosis •Maternal liver disease. A comprehensive guide to recommended strategies for controlling genetic and congenital disorders in Eastern Mediterranean countries. Addressed to policy-makers and service providers, the book aims to heighten awareness of these disorders while also increasing understanding of the interventions available for prevention and control. Congenital Heart Defects, or CHDs, are the most frequently occurring birth defect. In the US alone, o babies are born each year with some form of CHD. In the last 20 years, medical advances and new surgical procedures have dramatically decreased the mortality rate of these abnormalities and led to a better understanding and treatment of CHDs in adults.

Prevention and control of genetic diseases and congenital defects. Washington, D.C., USA: Pan American Health Organization, Pan American Sanitary Bureau, Regional Office of the World Health Organization, (OCoLC) Material Type: Government publication, International government publication: Document Type: Book: All Authors. Once an infant with a congenital disorder is born, tertiary prevention consists of early recognition and diagnosis, treatment and genetic counselling to prevent or minimise, to the greatest extent possible, deterioration, complications, disability and dependency of the infant with the congenital disorder. Categories of Congenital Disorders 1. Congenital malformations (structural defects). 2. Genetic disease (Chromosome or single gene abnormality). 3. Intrauterine infections as toxoplasmosis and exposure to teratogenic drugs. The incidence of inborn congenital disease like congenital heart disease and Down syndrome is percent in China. “So we put our research on early prevention, control and intervention, which means on the embryo.” the hospital is able to diagnose some genetic diseases and prevent their passage to offspring.
