Abstract

The legal medical approach to family members with relatives who have lethal diseases is complex, because many of them are incompatible with life such as tanatoforic dysplasia and achondrogenesis. It is complex considering several issues; As they are due to mutations in lethal genes, the products are incompatible with life, or die in the first days after birth. And for their complete study, it is necessary to take blood samples or biopsies of several tissues from the relatives of the patients, to extract DNA, RNA and look for de novo mutations, germ mutations and other hand.
