Scientists in Belarus have developed a DNA test that evaluates the risk of reproductive loss through genetic analysis. The new tool enables healthcare professionals to identify inherited factors linked to pregnancy complications and choose appropriate medical strategies, reports Belteleradiocompany, a partner of TV BRICS.
The test examines 26 genes associated with women’s reproductive health. The expanded scope of the analysis provides doctors with a more comprehensive dataset for clinical assessment and decision-making.
Maksim Amelyanovich, Head of the Human Genetics Laboratory at the Institute of Genetics and Cytology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, explained that genetic predispositions may remain dormant for years and are often influenced by environmental conditions. He added that specialists typically prepare results and issue a genetic passport within two weeks.
Compared with the previous version, which covered 14 genes, the updated panel delivers a deeper insight into biological factors that can affect pregnancy outcomes. This allows medical teams to adopt a more personalised approach when supporting patients.
The initiative is part of Belarus’s broader efforts to advance genetic research and personalised healthcare. To date, around 30,000 genetic passports have been issued across the country, contributing to the wider use of genomic data in preventive medicine.
The new test is already being used at the Republican Scientific and Practical Centre "Mother and Child", expanding the range of diagnostic tools available to specialists and supporting families on their path to parenthood.

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -
