Genetic Counseling

People seeking genetic counseling learn more about how hereditary disorders can affect them and their families. Genetic disorders result from changes in DNA. 

Our genetic counselor will help you or your kid with a genetic condition and many benefits from our counseling. This includes the following:

• People who have a close family suffer from a hereditary disease.
• Parents who already have a child that suffers from a hereditary disease.
• Pregnant women over the age of 34, as well as those who have had an abnormal prenatal screening test or amniocentesis, are at risk.
• Women who have experienced two or more miscarriages or who have given birth to a stillborn infant with outward symptoms of a genetic disease.

Medical history includes family illnesses, miscarriages, stillbirths, and unexplained deaths, which our genetic counselor asks about. In addition, he/she examines your medical records and any previous testing, including ultrasounds.

Depending on the results, our counselor will suggest some genetic tests, as well as provide support and some important resources.

Learning about hereditary diseases can be made easier by working with a genetic counselor. Counselors provide guidance as you make your own choices. Individuals and families recognize that what works for one may not work for another.
