In Primorye doctors suggest to create a genetic passport so that desired and healthy children would be born. So far there are a lot of problems with this, and medicine cannot solve many of the issues. So, about 20 thousand patients whose illnesses can only be foreseen in the future - live today in the region.

Rare, means orphan - this is a medical term. One case for half a million. A quick glance at a specific atlas is enough to experience pity and compassion. Each pain has its own story. But for most - it does not exist. And it is unclear what the root cause.

The genome is not fully understood. Therefore, experts cannot determine by which part of the gene and in what particular case mutations can be caused.

From what has been achieved and applied in Primorye - a survey of 40 hereditary diseases in the field of metabolism. But it is for newborns.

In the maternity hospital or children's clinic newborns take blood for analysis.

Officially there are 7 thousand rare diseases. But there are at least 17 thousand hereditary traits in which micro-anomalies can exist.  In fact this is a strong suspicion that any hereditary disease is already developing. And no matter how hard the scientists try, they are far from absolute contact with the nature of things.

The dream of seaside specialists is that every person has a genetic passport. And the young couples, coming to the doctor’s appointment, made an informed decision whether to create a family and offspring.
