What is Genetic Counselling?

Genetic Counselling is a specialised healthcare service that assists individuals, couples, and families in understanding how genetics can affect their health and well-being. It involves evaluating personal and family history, interpreting genetic test results, and explaining the role of genes in health, disease, and inheritance patterns.

The goal of genetic counselling is to:

  • Assess risk of inherited conditions or genetic disorders.
  • Provide clear information about genetic findings, testing options, and medical implications.
  • Support informed decision-making regarding healthcare, family planning, and lifestyle choices.
  • Offer emotional support while navigating complex and sometimes sensitive genetic information.
