Parents might decide to have genetic testing to determine if either or both of them carry certain genetic traits that could be passed on to their offspring. Some genetic traits will lead to severe birth defects or problematic diseases that could severely impact the quality of their children's lives.
If they are indeed carriers of certain traits, they may choose to avoid having children or choose adoption as an alternative. In this way, they can eliminate their particular genetic line and avoid passing the trait on to the next generation.

Why would a baby have a disorder if his parents do not?
There are two possible explanations. Not all disorders are genetic; for example, the baby might have an infection, might be malnourished, might be injured. Secondly, the baby actually might have a genetic disorder, because the genetics of a baby are not identical to either of the parents, being inherited from both of them. If both parents have a recessive gene, that gene might not be expressed in either parent but could still be expressed in their baby.

How does one determine if they have a parent who is Jew or grandmother?
Answer:Asking parents or grandparents is a simple and effective method of obtaining this information.If neither parents or grandparents or any other relative is alive you can go for genetic testing (DNA) tests. This type of testing can determine the likely origin of your ancestors. You can then research the demographics of the region to determine the potential that you ancestors might have been Jewish.The problem is the term Jewish has both an ethnic connotation and a religious connotation. No tests will pick up the religious part. As for the ethnic part, it is a bit thin with all the genetic mixing and conversion to Judaism going on. Say you were related to Sammy Davis Jr. Your DNA ethnicity would give you no clue, and you have no genetic basis for religious testing.
