Keywords:
Congenital abnormalities, Prenatal diagnosis.Abstract
Introduction: according to World Health Organization, four and six percent (4 and 6 %) of newborn suffer from some disease of causes that are total or partially from genetic origin, apart from the regions of world, development status or ethnic composition of populations. In Cuba, congenital genetic defects occupy the second cause of death in children under one year old.Objective: to assess the implementation of programs for prenatal diagnosis and results during a five-year period (2007-2011) in the health areas of Minas de Matahambre municipality.
Material and method: a descriptive, retrospective study was conducted having longitudinal features which included the pregnant women recruited from January 1st, 2007 to December 31, 2011 in three health areas of Minas de Matahambre municipality: "Enrique Camalleri Mena" from Santa Lucia, "Jose Elias Borges" from Minas and "Ramon Gonzalez Coro" from Sumidero Polyclinics.
Results: out of the 2016 pregnant women, some type of genetic risk was detected in 1042 of them (51,7 %): adolescence (22,6 %), familial history of some hereditary disease (11.3 %) and maternal age older than 35 (10,5 %) were the main genetic risk factors present in the territory.
Conclusions: knowledge of genetic background should be encouraged in health professionals and population to achieve the excellence in health services.
