Most women in the pre-pregnancy phase know to take folate supplements. Tick. They know that quitting smoking is for the best. Tick. Even stopping the glass of wine at the end of the day is on the radar. Tick.
What most don’t know is that we now have the ability to look closely at our genes, genes that are incredibly common in our population, and three genes in particular – Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Fragile X syndrome (FXS).
