What is Genetic Counseling?
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| A genetic counselor can help you or your family understand what is or is not a genetic condition. She can educate the person or family about certain diseases and explain the chance for inheriting genetic conditions and passing those diseases on to children. A genetic counseling session can help you understand your personal risk or the risk for other family members. It can also help you learn what testing, surveillance, prevention strategies, or research trials may be right for your situation. |
