    Abstract:
    The activity of the 15 genetic counseling and 4 prenatal genetic centers working within the frame of family planning and women protection network in 8 years has been analyzed by the authors. The frequency of consultations in the period examined increased twofold. Although the number of pathologic cases prenatally diagnosed raises from year to year, it is necessary to inform the genetic counseling centers for controlling their effectivity. The authors demand in cases of suspicious teratogenic defects hereditary diseases to take genetic expert opinion before abruptio of pregnancy. The valuation of serum alpha-protein examinations is possible only in correlation to gestational age. The authors give the recommendation to all obstetricians and midwives involved in outpatient pregnancy care to cause all pregnant women older than 40 years to go to see genetic counseling centre before 11th gestational week. Only in this way we can wait for better results yet.
