Gynecology plays a crucial role in the management and diagnosis of Trisomy 13, particularly during pregnancy. Gynecologists are involved in:
- Prenatal screening and diagnosis: They recommend and perform tests to detect chromosomal abnormalities. - Counseling: They provide genetic counseling to inform parents about the risk, implications, and options upon diagnosis. - Pregnancy management: They monitor the pregnancy closely for complications and coordinate care with other specialists.
