WHAT IS GENETIC COUNSELING ?
Charting your genetic journey, together
Genetic counseling is a process that helps individuals or families understand and adapt to the medical, psychological, and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease. Genetic counselors provide information and support to people who have, or may be at risk for, genetic conditions. They help clients interpret genetic test results, assess their risk of inherited conditions, explore reproductive options, and make informed decisions about their healthcare

Prenatal Genetic Counseling
Postnatal Genetic Counseling
Prenatal genetic counseling is a specialized form of genetic counseling aimed at individuals or couples who are planning a pregnancy, are currently pregnant, or have concerns about the health of their unborn child. This counseling typically involves discussions about the risk of genetic disorders or birth defects in the fetus, the options available for prenatal testing, and the implications of test results for the pregnancy and future family planning.
People who may benefit from prenatal genetic counseling include
Couples with a family history of genetic disorders or birth defects.
Individuals or couples who have had a previous child with a genetic condition or birth defect.
Women who will be 35 years or older at the time of delivery, as advanced maternal age is associated with an increased risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities.
Couples who are carriers of genetic conditions and want to understand their risk of passing these conditions on to their children.
Prenatal genetic counseling can help individuals and couples make informed decisions about their pregnancy, including whether to pursue prenatal testing, how to interpret test results, and what options are available for managing or treating any identified genetic conditions or birth defects.
Postnatal genetic counseling is a form of genetic counseling that occurs after a child is born and is aimed at providing information and support to parents and families regarding the genetic factors that may be affecting their child's health or development.
