If children can inherit the excellent genes from their parents, it is certainly worthy of joy, but if the parents have inherited disease recessive genes and do not know it, they may be passed on to the next generation. Compared with the probability of Down syndrome, the incidence of genetic recessive diseases is higher. The most common genetic recessive diseases in Hong Kong are thalassemia, deafness, fragile X syndrome, and spinal muscular atrophy. Gene testing technology is popular, 400+ / 600+ genetic recessive disease genes can be detected by drawing blood, so that the health of the next generation can be more protected.

Common genetic recessive disease in Hong Kong

Fava bean disease (G6PD) Only for female customers; G6PD is a chromosome X disease	A relatively common genetic disease in Hong Kong, 50 out of 1,000 newborn boys suffer from fava bean disease, and 4 per 1,000 female infants suffer from this genetic disease. If the fetal genetic fava bean disease can be detected early, we can plan for the future early
Thalassemia A and B	About 12% of parents in Hong Kong carry the thalassemia gene. In severe cases, the fetus will not survive. Such mothers will have an increased risk of high blood pressure and massive bleeding in the later stages of pregnancy. If fetal genetic thalassemia can be detected early, the future can be planned early. Patients with thalassemia b also require life-long blood transfusions after birth, and some parents may choose to stop pregnancy before
Fragile X syndrome	Intellectual retardation and autism
Deafness (GJB2)	One of the most common causes of birth defects in newborn babies. According to research statistics, about one in five hundred newborn babies has hearing impairment
Spinal muscular atrophy	Motor neurons degenerate, causing muscle atrophy, weakness, and ultimately death
Cystic fibrosis	The lungs and pancreas are affected, and the patient needs long-term treatment or lung transplantation
Pompe disease	The patient’s body cannot decompose glycogen, which can cause muscle weakness, enlarged heart, etc. Newborn babies suffer from this disease and generally live less than 1 to 2 years old.
