What procedure help doctors diagnose a genetic disorder before a baby is born?
Prenatal diagnostic testing. This is to determine whether the fetus has certain abnormalities, which could be either hereditary or spontaneous.

What is prenatal testing and what is its purpose?
Prenatal testing is done by taking a health history from both parents, sonogram and blood samples from the mother and if necessary from the fetus. The purpose of prenatal testing is to check the fetus for physical and genetic anomalies that may indicate that the baby may or will be born with birth defects. It may also show future problems that may show themselves as the infant grows. A number o these problems can be resolved before resulting in a healthy newborn. Others may require counseling for the parents to understand issues they need to deal with after birth. Prenatal screening also can include test for various STDs and HIV. Different states have different required tests and some tests not included may result in a defect not found and a child not growing up heakthy. The tests can usually be refused after signing a form to that affect.
Can Marfan Syndrome be detected before birth?
Yes, Marfan Syndrome can be detected before birth through prenatal genetic testing such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis. These tests can detect whether the fetus has inherited the genetic mutation that causes Marfan Syndrome. It's important to consult with a genetic counselor or healthcare provider for further information and testing options.
What tests can confirm the presence of Tay-Sachs disease in a fetus?
