The health of newborns and their mothers is significantly impacted by genetic illnesses and congenital abnormalities. Although there are numerous prenatal screening tests available, moms' awareness has been demonstrated to determine uptake. This study aims to assess pregnant women's knowledge about birth defects and the factors associated with their desire for prenatal screening. [1] A genetic ailment is a disease that has one or more abnormalities in its genome. A chromosomal abnormality, a mutation in one gene (monogenic), several genes (polygenic), or both may be the cause. Even though polygenic disorders are the most common, the phrase is usually used when discussing problems with a single genetic basis, either in a gene or a chromosome. The relevant mutation can either be inherited from one or both parents who have the disorder (autosomal dominant inheritance) or it might occur spontaneously before the embryo develops (a de novo mutation). Congenital abnormalities are defined as defects that arise during intrauterine life and are either structural or functional. These conditions, which are often referred to as congenital malformations, birth abnormalities, or anomalies, develop during pregnancy and can be identified before, during, or after delivery.[2] Due to the extremely high rates of illness and mortality, they are connected with, genetic disorders and congenital malformations are identified as public health hazards.
