    Area of Science:

    • Population genetics
    • Medical genetics
    • Human genetics

    Context:

    • High incidence of genetic abnormalities in the population.
    • 1 in 13 liveborn children affected by genetic conditions.
    • Concerns about dysgenic effects of modern medicine.

    Purpose:

    • To predict the long-term effects of medical advancements on genetic health.
    • To assess the future burden of genetic diseases in the Swiss population.
    • To evaluate the role of prenatal diagnosis and mass screening.

    Summary:

    • Numerical models predict modern medicine will increase multifactorial diseases.
    • The societal impact may be less than current chronic genetic diseases.
    • Prenatal diagnosis is crucial for families to have healthy children.

    Impact:

    • Prenatal diagnosis offers a pathway to healthy offspring for many families.
    • Prospective mass screening is currently not feasible or acceptable for reducing abnormal offspring.
    • Understanding genetic trends is vital for public health strategies.
