Overview

Genetic counseling is the process of helping individuals make informed decisions about genetic-related conditions or inherited traits they or their children may possess. It involves providing information and support to families to help them understand genetic risks, make informed decisions, and provide support and resources. Genetic counselors provide genetic testing and clinical evaluation to assess the risk of genetic disorders and provide advice about genetic testing options for diseases such as cancer, prenatal diagnosis, and inherited conditions. Genetic counseling also educates individuals about the inheritance of genetic conditions and the implications of genetic testing results. It is an important service for patients, families, and healthcare providers to understand the risks associated with genetic disorders, potential treatments, and best practices to ensure good health and well-being.
