The launch of a genetic research project in dual-family homes; Prevention of the birth of disabled children in families with multiple disabilities

By implementing a genetic research project in families of children with disabilities, the birth of disabled children is prevented in families with two or more children with disabilities.
The Welfare Directorate of Yazd province said this at the ceremony of the launch of a genetic research project in the families of second-degree villages said that by implementing this project, which is the identification of the carrier gene in families with 2 or more people with disabilities, we are going to be able to provide necessary services to the needy families. .
Hefati added that the issue of prevention of treatment is one of the priorities of the Welfare Organization, because 50 percent of disabilities play a role in genetic factors and 50 percent are affected by environmental factors.
He said the couples should participate in the scheme in order to prevent possible disabilities, given the availability of genetic and genetic testing facilities.
The Directorate General for Welfare said that the second-generation families that are under genetic labs, in addition to testing the gene in the affected person, are also able to identify those carriers of disability in the family, since the root causes of multiple-disability are generally family-related marriages.
Jalil Efati, referring to the implementation of a genetic counseling screening plan in Yazd, said all the marriages that take place in the province are under the coverage of the screening plan and so far more than seven thousand couples have been receiving screening services for genetic counseling.
He added: "Given the available facilities, genetic screening has been provided to all the conquerors of the province."
He reminded: "Many of our colleagues in the welfare state are keen to see a day when families with a disabled child are no longer concerned that their next child will be disabled.
Director General of Welfare in Yazd province said: "The good work done at the Gene Research Center of Meybod is the result of the efforts of all city officials who have provided the conditions for this specialized work in this center."
Amnesty said that 96 of 1,200 abortions were carried out in 480 cases in Yazd province, he said: "This is due to the efforts of the activists in this field, the participation and cooperation of families and couples. It is expected One day, one can see that the number of disabilities and the incidence of disabilities is decreasing daily.
The implementation of a genetic research project in families of dual-proprioceptive families coincided with the commemoration of the Welfare Week for the first time in the country at the Center for the Study of Genetics in the south-east of the country in the city of Meybod.
