If a woman is certain she is an NDI carrier, then, unfortunately, the only certain way of not passing on the NDI gene is to not have children. If a woman is certain she is an NDI carrier and she is pregnant, she can have a prenatal diagnosis to determine if her unborn child is carrying the NDI gene. It is also suggested that the mother seek family counseling to help her prepare for a child born with NDI.
