Hello,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!

I really appreciate your concern. Genetic mutation and birth defects are becoming very common now a days. There are many possible reasons for it. It is not necessary that genetic problems can only be seen in parents with genetic defects. Radiation, exposure to various chemicals, drugs can also increases the chances of mutation and genetic defects. Be relaxed and hope fr the best.

Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.

Thank you.

Best Regards.
Dr. Manan
