Abstract
- An analysis of 4628 cases in the genetic counseling clinic of PUMC Hospital is reported. Althogether 966 cases (20.87%) were diagnosed as having genetic diseases, among whom were 436 cases (45.13%) with chromosome aberrations, 161 (16.67%) with inherited metabolic diseases, 111 (11.49%) with constitutional bone diseases, 103 (10.66%) with various kinds of genetic neuromuscular diseases, 109 (11.28%) with different dysmorphic syndromes, and 46 (4.76%) with different kinds of genetic dermatoses and oculopathies. 973 cases (21.02%) were suspected to suffer from some form of genetic disease, but this could not be proved due to a lack of specific diagnostic methods. 2689 cases (58.10%) were found to be unaffected by inherited diseases. Some of the experiences gained and the key role of genetic counselling in family planning are briefly discussed.
