When the baby is inside the mother, then it is enclosed into the amnion sac. The sac is filled with amniotic fluid. This fluid contains cells from the baby.
These cells are used to prepare karyotype of the baby and therefore to study the karyotype for determination of sex and genetic disorders.
At this stage, the amniotic cells are used to determine down syndrome, Edward syndrome, turner's syndrome, klinefelter syndrome and many other common genetic disorders.
But when the child is born, its DNA should be tested to detect the presence of certain other diseases. These diseases include Alzheimer's syndrome, Parkinson syndrome, cancer and many other. The DNA should be tested because our DNA contains information stored in its nucleotides which indicate the appearance of these diseases at some point of life. Therefore to protect the baby from such syndromes in his or her life, it is important to know the indications of these diseases. If we already knew the diseases which are going to be present in our life at any point of time, then we can prepare ourselves to fight against those diseases.
