Genetic Counselling

Description: The aim of genetic counselling is to help individuals and families to understand the condition, make choices, access any appropriate screening or medical treatment, communicate with relatives and find suitable support. Genetic counsellors will often draw a family history, explain relevant inheritance patterns and discuss risks to children. They are also experts at explaining genetic test results.
