• There is the urgency of a prenatal diagnosis, so the couple can know a priori, before deciding on a pregnancy, the risk. When the prenatal diagnosis of hereditary disease is not technically possible, knowing the risks allows opt for alternative solutions: not procreate, adoption, and so on. In such studies must use radiological techniques, dangerous during pregnancy, or biochemical, whose results can be altered during pregnancy and mask the diagnosis.

• The most important risk factors, which require the development of a genetic study are: existence in the family of repeat abortions,
polimalformaciones or mental retardation associated with fragile X chromosome.

• If a couple is consanguineous, runs a higher risk of both carriers are somehow abnormal gene, and therefore can match the two genes in a sick child. In this case, if there is no family history, the best recommendation is to conduct a careful follow-up ultrasound in pregnancy.

• When there is a history, one must make a clear diagnosis of the patient sick. This is very important. Then, based on the biochemical and molecular study of it, the analysis becomes familiar.

• Prenatal diagnosis, analyzing the liquid amniótlco or villus coriócas, allowing to know whether the baby will inherit a particular genetic disease.
