Genetic Disorders

Treatment for Genetic Disorders in Nagpur

When your genes are mutated or you have an imbalance in your genetic makeup, you might have genetic illnesses. DNA, the building block of genes, contains hereditary information on how cells should function as well as the traits that distinguish everyone.

You can better understand the causes of genetic illnesses by understanding how your genes and DNA work. A sizable amount of the DNA in your genes instructs the body on how to make proteins. These proteins initiate intricate cell connections that support your well-being.

Symptoms caused by Genetic Disorders:

Genetic disorders can cause infertility in both men and women, and the symptoms can vary depending on the specific disorders.

  1. Abnormal Chromosomes: Chromosome abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, or Klinefelter syndrome, can cause infertility by affecting the development and function of reproductive cells.
  2. Hormonal Imbalances: Genetic disorders that affect hormone production, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia or Kallmann syndrome, can cause infertility by disrupting ovulation or sperm production.
  3. Infertility: Genetic disorders such as Fragile X syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and Kartagener syndrome can cause infertility by affecting the production of eggs and sperm or by causing structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs.
  4. Recurrent Miscarriage: Genetic disorders like balanced translocation, Turner’s syndrome, or inherited thrombophilia can lead to recurrent miscarriage by causing chromosomal or genetic abnormalities in the developing fetus.
  5. Abnormal Development: Genetic disorders that affect the development of reproductive organs, such as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome or androgen insensitivity syndrome, can cause infertility by preventing the formation of functional reproductive organs.
  6. Symptoms of specific genetic diseases like phenylketonuria, Tay-Sachs disease, sickle cell anaemia, etc. may also cause infertility.

Types of Genetic Illness:

Three major categories can be used to classify genetic illnesses:

Single Gene Disorders: Diseases brought on by defects in a single gene, frequently with easy-to-understand and predictable inheritance patterns.

Chromosome Disorders: Diseases brought on by modifications to the chromosome’s size or structure.

Multifactorial Disorders: Diseases brought on by many gene alterations, frequently in a complicated combination with external variables like nutrition or cigarette smoke.

Most hereditary diseases are incurable. Some diseases are treatable, which may help you live a healthier life or halt the course of the condition. The kind and severity of the condition will determine the best sort of treatment for you.

Prenatal testing is one of the most frequently performed genetic medicine procedures nowadays. Diagnostic tests and screening tests are the two categories of prenatal testing methods. A screening test assesses the possibility that the fetus will have genetic diseases. A diagnostic test collects cells from the fetus or placenta to determine if the fetus has any genetic problems.
