Genetic test during Pregnancy
I have one child 6 years old. He has black spots on his entire body (more at exposed part). I consulted many doctors and concluded that the problem is genetic. Now, I am planning to have another child, but want to make sure that this problem will not be seen on my next child. How can I confirm that my next child will not have same problem. Please suggest to whom should I need to consult.
