Infertility, recurrent miscarriages, stillbirth

Pregnancy planning after cancer treatment

Recurrent tumors or early occurrence of tumors in the family

Family relationship

Pregnancy

- mothers over 35, fathers over 45,
- with a positive ultrasound or biochemical test,
- at risk of recurrence of a hereditary defect already present in the family,
- exposure to external adverse effects - drugs, ionising radiation (X-rays)
- exposure to certain infectious diseases

How is genetic testing performed?

The physician - clinical geneticist - determines details regarding the health of the patient and diseases of the family members (medical history). The geneticist creates a family tree of at least three generations on the basis of the information (genealogy). Evaluation of the case history and genealogy helps to determine the type of hereditary disease in the family. The examination can be specified with a consulting examination of a specialist from a different field or a specific laboratory or imaging examination is indicated, such as:

Examination of chromosomes

Examination of congenital mutations of genes

Biochemical examination

Ultrasound examination

Other necessary examinations
