Prenatal testing/screening is administered in order to determine whether a fetus has an increased risk for a genetic disease. These tests can help identify substances that might indicate a genetic disease. If this is a routine testing/screening then this could help the parents be more aware of what's to come if the child has a genetic disease and also to prepare them mentally and physically for the challenges ahead. This diagnosis will also give them time to learn and research what type of disease the child has and what can be done to cure it or help with making the child's life easier or it could just give the parents a piece of mind if the baby is normal and healthy. Going forward this should definitely be researched further and added to the OBGYN exams.
