Tomorrow is World Rare Disease Day, and we want to dedicate this post to all those people who struggle every day to live as best they can with their afflictions.<\/p>\n

Often genes play tricks. Every year we see dozens of parents and families surprised when their babies are born with a genetic disease.<\/p>\n

Recently, significant advances have been made in developing genetic tests. So today you know the probability an unborn child has of developing a hereditary disease, even before pregnancy. Data from the World Health Organisation (WHO)<\/strong> show that the overall prevalence of these diseases is about 1% (10 out of every 1,000 newborns).<\/p>\n

Today, it is normal for children to be born healthy. It may seem at first glance that no-one in the family has inherited a genetic disease, but it may not be very safe to leave your genetics to chance. It is advisable therefore to undergo this type of test to dispel any doubts. Providing security when planning for pregnancy and preventing hereditary diseases will ensure that your pregnancy finishes with the birth of a baby free of such diseases.<\/p>\n
