[Genetic counseling in congenital angiocardiopathy (author's transl)].
Genetically tainted cardiopathies whether of monogenic or chromosomal etiologic particularly those associated with deformities and disease symptoms must be assessed carefully with regard to heredoprognosis. Their absolute frequency is, however, very small. Genetic counseling in the far more common isolated appearances of congenital angiocardiopathies, generally with multifactorial causes will, in the majority of cases, be able to encourage them to have further children. The circumstance that, in multifactorial diseases in particular, only empirical risk figures are available (and every family has its own heredity and environment constellation here), must be taken into consideration by analysis of the individual genealogical tree and diseases.
