Perinatal health, which encompasses the period immediately before and after birth, is a critical time for both the mother and the developing fetus. During this time, numerous genetic factors play a crucial role in determining the health outcomes of the newborn. Inherited conditions, resulting from genetic mutations passed down from one or both parents, can significantly impact perinatal health. Understanding these genetic influences is vital for healthcare professionals, parents, and researchers to manage and mitigate potential risks, leading to better outcomes for both mother and child. This article explores the complexities of inherited conditions, the role of genetics in perinatal health, and the advancements in genetic screening and intervention strategies.
