A couple in Mainland China gave birth to a child with albinism. They were worried that there was a genetic problem. They went to the hospital for a checkup recently and found that the two were close relatives. (Image/Pixabay)

A couple in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, mainland China, welcomed a newborn. They did not expect that the newborn child would have albinism. However, the couple were both in good health. After examination, it was found that the two were close relatives. Afterwards, they asked their elders at home to find out. The wife’s grandmother and the husband’s mother’s grandmother are biological sisters.

“Guangzhou Daily” reported that a woman surnamed Zhang gave birth to a child with albinism. Her mother-in-law suspected that she had a bad gene, so she and her husband decided to have a test to find out the cause. The results showed that the two were actually close relatives, which made the couple quite dumbfounded.

The two went home and asked their elders. It turned out that Zhang’s grandmother and her husband’s mother’s grandmother were biological sisters. Therefore, genetically, the couple were closely related. That is, Zhang’s husband was her nephew, while her mother-in-law was It’s her cousin.

Ms. Zhang later mentioned that she and her husband met at a wedding banquet in her hometown. Although she knew they were related at the time, she thought they were not close relatives, so she did not undergo genetic screening or other related examinations before marriage or pregnancy. The doctor also reminded that although neither Ms. Zhang nor her husband are albinos, they carry the same disease-causing genetic gene, so the children they give birth to will have a high incidence of the disease.

The so-called albinism is a genetic disease. Due to genetic mutations, human pigment cells cannot successfully convert tyrosine into melanin, resulting in insufficient or deficient melanin. Symptoms of albinism include mainly the eyes and skin, blurred vision, There is currently no effective treatment for symptoms such as photophobia, abnormal optic nerve fiber direction, white skin, and immune abnormalities. It should be noted that the most important thing to prevent albinism is to avoid incest, because this disease is an autologous recessive inheritance. , the chance of two closely related parents carrying the recessive gene for albinism is much higher than that of the average person.

Doctors suggest that both prenatal diagnosis and genetic screening are important. Prenatal diagnosis can detect potential genetic diseases or malformations, such as Down syndrome, Williams syndrome, etc., while genetic screening can understand the genetic status of couples. Predict possible risks of genetic diseases in the fetus.

The Essential Vitamins and Supplements for a Healthy Pregnancy

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 8, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The period of pregnancy comes with many changes regarding the body of the expectant mother, and the need for nutrients varies compared to the period before pregnancy, but also from one trimester of pregnancy to another. We suggest you find out which vitamins and food supplements are recommended during pregnancy, along with a healthy diet.

Before taking any dietary supplement, you should know that not every pharmaceutical formula is allowed in pregnancy. This is exactly why you should always ask your gynecologist for permission before taking any dietary supplement or treatment.

Vitamins and supplements recommended during pregnancy

Acodul folic

Folic acid or vitamin B9 is especially important during pregnancy, and doctors recommend folic acid supplementation from the preconception period.

Here are the main roles of folic acid in pregnancy:

Development of the brain and nervous system: Folic acid is essential for the proper formation of the neural tube of the fetus during the first weeks of pregnancy. A well-developed neural tube is fundamental to the development of a child’s brain and central nervous system. Folic acid deficiency can lead to neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Synthesis of DNA and RNA: Folic acid is involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, which is crucial for cell development and growth. As the fetus develops rapidly, it requires additional amounts of folic acid to support this cellular growth. Cell division: Folic acid helps in the proper regulation of cell division, which is essential for the healthy development and growth of the fetus. Blood formation: Folic acid is involved in the formation of red and white blood cells, which is important for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and for maintaining the mother’s health during pregnancy. Amino acid metabolism: Proteins are essential for the development of fetal tissues and organs. Reducing the risk of birth defects: Folic acid supplementation before and during pregnancy can significantly reduce the risk of birth defects, especially those associated with the neural tube.

Prenatal vitamins

There are several manufacturers who have made prenatal vitamins, some have even dosed them according to the trimester of pregnancy, because yes, there are nutritional differences from one trimester of pregnancy to another.

It’s good to ask your doctor for advice when choosing prenatal vitamins, but most offer the same range of nutrients needed during pregnancy.

Omega 3

Recent studies prove the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids for the good development of the baby, but also for maintaining the health of the pregnant woman.

Research has shown that adding EPA and DHA (two Omega-3 fatty acids) to the diet of pregnant women has a positive effect on the baby’s visual and cognitive development and could reduce the risk of allergies in young children.

Omega-3 fatty acids are also found in foods such as salmon, tuna, hake, but also in raw seeds and oleaginous fruits, such as olives, shelled hemp seeds, etc.

Vitamin D in pregnancy

We already know that pregnant women are not recommended to expose themselves to the sun, but they also need vitamin D both for maintaining their own health and for the development of the bone system and not only of the baby.

Here are some of the most important roles of vitamin D in pregnancy:

Calcium absorption: Vitamin D helps absorb calcium from food or supplements. This is essential for the healthy development of the bones and teeth of the fetus. As the fetus grows rapidly and needs calcium for bone development, vitamin D is crucial for ensuring sufficient calcium availability. Immune function: Vitamin D plays an important role in immune function and can help protect both mother and fetus against infection. A healthy immune system is essential during pregnancy to prevent complications. Blood pressure regulation: Vitamin D deficiency can be associated with high blood pressure during pregnancy, which can increase the risk of pre-eclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication. Development of the nervous system: Vitamin D may also play a role in the development of the fetal nervous system. Management of gestational diabetes: Vitamin D may have a beneficial effect in preventing gestational diabetes, a condition that occurs during pregnancy and is associated with high blood sugar levels. Maternal well-being: Vitamin D deficiency can be associated with health conditions such as depression and fatigue, which can affect a mother’s general well-being during pregnancy.

It’s true love! A woman in Malaysia was unable to give birth to a child after 12 years of marriage, so she took the initiative to express to her husband, “I agree with you to marry again.” How could she know that her husband reprimanded her on the spot, and then said two words that moved her so much, she felt that she really married the right person.

According to “Sin Chew Net”, 35-year-old Nulu Xida has been ridiculed and insulted by others because of her unmoving belly as early as the third year of her marriage. She has always felt helpless and sad, especially as a graduate of accounting. At that time, she was opposed to “marrying” to her rubber-tapping husband whom she had only known for a year, and her delay in getting pregnant deepened her worries and self-blame about marriage.

Unexpectedly, after agreeing to marry the second wife, the husband first scolded her for making such a ridiculous request? Then she said two words that touched her heart, “If you want to find someone else, you don’t have to wait so many years, you have already found it” and “If there are other women, you may not be able to get a child.” Afterwards, under the guidance of her husband, Nulu Xida no longer mentioned the matter of marrying a second wife.

Nulu Xida revealed that the two had actually gone to the hospital for examination and concluded that their reproductive function was normal, but for some reason they were unable to conceive. However, in the past 12 years, her husband has not changed his mind because he has no children, and even refused to marry another person, which has made her feel very heartwarming. Now the two of them hold the mood that maybe their fate has not yet arrived, and continue to try and live a sweet life together.
