Answer / Suresh Chandra Dubey

Carrier screening and genetic counseling are essential for patients at risk of passing on inherited blood disorders. Carrier screening identifies individuals who carry a gene mutation but are asymptomatic, allowing them to make informed decisions about family planning. Genetic counseling helps patients understand the risks, benefits, and available options for themselves and their future offspring. By offering carrier screening and genetic counseling, we can reduce the incidence of inherited blood disorders and improve the quality of life for affected families.
