A young couple, whose first child was born with a disability, ask in front of the camera about ways to rule out a disability for the next pregnancy: whether medical care, ultrasound and medication could help. This outlines the typical client profile of family genetic counseling centers, which provide information about the risks of having a child with a neural tube defect, for example. A team of specialists from Leipzig, including a woman, is introduced who invites parents of newborn disabled children to have the disability clarified by family genetics. The diagnostic testing of a disabled infant will be shown. Middle-aged couples who wish to have children are also shown.
