Question
Both my husband and I are normal individuals, but our child has intellectual disability. We want a second child; what checks do we need to do?
Answer
Since both you and your husband are healthy individuals, it is recommended that you undergo a chromosome test to rule out genetic factors. If you have not had any related tests, it is advisable to consult with a professional physician for genetic counseling. At the same time, it is suggested that you observe the reasons for your child’s intellectual disability to take appropriate preventive measures during future pregnancies.
