Consistent system of prenatal medical genetic consultation and prenatal diagnosis has been developed, which includes specifying diagnosis of the inherited pathology in parents and a fetus by classical genetic methods. The families are included in a life-long monitoring that has given the possibility to consult three generations in many cases. 10 precepts of preconceptional care have been made and introduced. Population studies of mitochondrial dysfunction frequency, folatemethionine cycle disorders have been conducted and the distribution of hetero and homozygous compounds have been determined in MTHFR (C676T, A1298C, G1793A; MTRR (A66G); RFC1 (G80A) in Ukraine. The spectrum of the expected inherited pathology has been described on this basis. The system to help yet unborn child in families, which are burdened by thrombotic conditions, which has a high positive result in thrombophilic complications, intrauterine fetal infections and the disorders of the central nervous system. Study of the efficacy of neonatal and selective screening of PKU, MPS, hypothyroidism, adrenal-genital syndrome, Fabry disease, Gauche disease takes a special place, their efficacy is being increased by a life-long monitoring of a family.
