From Google News Search: "Genetic Disorders" Do people abort due to genetic disorders identified in the unborn child? Q. I wanted to know if people would go through abortion if they found out about a genetic disorder present within the unborn child during prenatal or ultrasound scans. Please list a few reasons; detail isn't really important. I just need a few basic reasons. The reasons can pretty much range from anything - ethical, religious, social, etc. Thanks in advance. Asked by Love'n'Hate - Tue Apr 20 18:34:21 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. It might be easy for some to forget about religious views and social stigmas, but that is one of the huge reasons that this is so difficult for people. I see prenatal patients who are making these decisions, and the issues that many people consider include not only the well-being of the child, but of the family themselves. Some conditions come with a normal life span, but the person cannot be self-reliant (think Down Syndrome or other mental handicaps).

I was wondering what causes some genetics to mess up? i was hoping that there could be a cure for all genetic disorders. I have a genetic disorder called 22q.11.2 deletion syndrome which is genetically next door to down syndrome and i was wondering if there will be a cure for people with this kind of stuff and that people can live normal lives.

This absence of genetic material usually occurs during the division of egg or sperm cells before fertilization. The disorder is genetically passed from a parent in about five to 10 percent of cases. Although there is no cure for 22Q deletion syndrome, there are many treatments to help with the symptoms.

Q. I know SCID virus is one. What are the other five? Asked by jreventer - Fri May 23 16:57:08 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The other poster got it, but I have a little to add. 1) SCID is not a virus. It is a heritable genetic disorder and is not contagious or treatable. 2) Here is a video of a filly with cerebellar abiotrophy (CA/CCA): 3) Picture of a deceased foal with LFS/CCDL: 4) Website with a lot of good info on these diseases: 5) Wikipedia entry on the disorders: 6) GPT is not included on that first website because it is not a clearly defined genetic mutation, but possibly a polygenic trait.
