A member asked:

Are any genetic conditions treatable in utero?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not directly: Currently there are no genetic discorders that can be treated in utero. There are consequences of certain disorders that can be treated however. The primary reason for knowing the genetic makeup of a baby in utero is for decision making and palnning outcomes.
