Introduction:
In the current issue of Harefuah, we present original research articles and reviews, reflecting the tremendous development of the field of genetic testing. This progress provides extensive tools for determining genetic diagnoses, thereby enabling detailed explanation for patients and their family members regarding the specific genetic disorder, adjustment of medical evaluation and follow-up, and allowing informed decision-making during pregnancy. Furthermore, there are advances in the assessment of recurrence of risks among members of the extended family, including future pregnancies, with a possibility of prenatal diagnosis and pre-implantation genetic testing.
