Hi! M a famale 29 years old. My question is ... In my family there is a history of menatlly challenged male birth,so now I am married n m worried that will my child will also be the same.. are there any test which can tell me that my child will not be mentally challenged.
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.  Meddles law of inheritance says if one parent has family history of any disease (& is confirmed by chromosomal analysis to be carrier) & other parent does not have it their child has 50% chances of getting the disease. In case you are not a carrier still new generation would have 25 % chances of getting the disease.  According to the law, provided your husband does not have any family history of mental illness.your would be child Chat Doctor.  This possibility can be excluded / confirmed by chromosomal analysis of the fetus by amniocentesis during the pregnancy. So every time you are pregnant, you should exclude the possibility by chromosomal analysis & then continue with the pregnancy.  Thanks.
