Beyond the crystal ball - genetic epidemiology report 2002
A paediatrician once said to the parents of a tiny baby with a congenital condition: 'we don't have a crystal ball to tell you about the future of your child'. This concept of a fortune teller's crystal ball highlights the need to predict distant events for the child, the parents and the support services that may be necessary for the child to enjoy a high quality of life. For the parents of this newly diagnosed baby, such knowledge would enable them to make informed choices about the future.
