Chapter 834 The Tong family has a history of genetic diseases

Gu Jin lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she spoke, "Aunt Tong, I have a question. It may involve family privacy."

Tong Wan treated Gu Jin as her daughter-in-law and liked her very much. She spoke to her in a soft voice: "It's okay, we are all family, if you have any questions, just tell me."

Gu Jin said "um" softly, and said, "Before your child was born, you knew that you were pregnant with a daughter. Did you do a prenatal gender assessment in advance?"

In order to prevent families who favor boys over girls from aborting girls in order to have boys, prenatal gender assessment is generally not allowed in China.

But wealthy families have some privileges, and if they want to know the gender of their children in advance, there are also ways.

Of course, there are also special circumstances, and hospitals will allow gender assessment.

For example, if there is a genetic disease in the family, and the pathogenic gene is on the sex chromosome, it is often called a sex-linked genetic disease.

Tong Wan nodded. She was afraid that Gu Yang and Gu Jin would misunderstand, so she explained: "At first, gender identification was done. That is part of the prenatal examination.

Our family does not favor boys over girls, and gender identification is not for distinguishing between boys and girls."

Gu Yang also reacted, "Is it because there is a genetic disease in the family?"

Speaking of which, her hemophilia is also a sex-linked genetic disease.

Neither the Gu family nor the Ruan family has a history of hemophilia.

The Gu family has never suspected that Gu Yang is not their biological child, so after knowing that she has hemophilia, they just thought it was bad luck and a genetic mutation with a very small probability.

After all, Ruan Xueling was a jewelry designer, and some jewelry might contain radioactive radiation, which could cause genetic mutations in babies.

Later, after knowing that she was not her biological child, the Gu family also helped her find her biological parents.

Hemophilia is a genetic disease, so when looking for biological parents, they focused on hemophilia families in Jincheng and nearby cities.

But in the end, they didn't find any, so they had to give up.

Tong Wan said: "The Xiao family has no history of genetic diseases. However, my mother's family, the Tong family, has a history of genetic diseases. I may carry a disease-causing gene, so I have to do a prenatal diagnosis.

Not only for this child, but also before giving birth to Yi Ze. It is to rule out genetic diseases.

I don't want my child to be tortured by illness from birth. I want her to grow up healthy."

So, Tong Wan had a prenatal diagnosis and it was diagnosed that the fetus in her belly was not sick, so she continued the pregnancy.

Gu Yang was moved by this maternal love: "Aunt Tong Wan is a good mother."

Gu Jin also nodded, and did not ask what the specific genetic disease of the Tong family was.

After all, this is family privacy, and it is not easy for Tong Wan to reveal something.

The information obtained was enough to make Gu Jin give up the absurd idea that had just arisen.

It would be impolite to continue asking.

Although she didn't like the ways of the world, she still had the proper sense of propriety.

Tong Wan asked Gu Yang and Gu Jin to have dinner at the Xiao family, and then asked Xiao Yize to drive them back to school.

There were self-study classes in the evening.

Feng Jue had been ignored for the whole day, and he insisted on crossing the entire campus to pick up Gu Yang to go to the classroom. So he estimated the time and rode a shared electric donkey to wait for Gu Yang downstairs of Gu Yang's dormitory.

Gu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing his stubborn face, he could only let him do what he wanted.

Feng Jue grabbed Gu Yang's hand and put it on his waist, letting her hug him. He was satisfied and did not forget to cast a provocative look at Gu Jin.
