In the child population in the district of Dolný Kubín the authors screened during a five-year period children with a suspect genetic aetiology of affections. They examined a total of 1058 children, i.e. 2.34% of the child population in the district. The results were compared with a control group of children examined as a result of previous screening. From their work ensues: 1. 2.34% children aged 0-14 years have indications for genetic examination. 2. The method of an active approach to screening of genetic pathology is ten times more effective than the hitherto used method of detection.
