Challenges and Opportunities with Providing Genetic Testing and Counseling for Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II in Kenya

2025-01-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Limited or absent genetic counseling and testing resources in low- and medium-income countries lead to missed or late diagnoses for treatable metabolic conditions with irreversible complications. In some communities, misunderstanding about the etiology of a genetic condition may lead women whose children are affected to be viewed as a bad omen and become stigmatized or ostracized from t...
