Genetic counselling is a process that involves making information about a specific disease or genetic condition available to the patient as well as helping in decision making.
During this process, the geneticist collects information about each patient’s personal and family medical history (family tree) in order to evaluate their case in a personalised way.
The genetics specialist then informs the patient about different aspects of certain genetic diseases they may have, as well as the genetic tests necessary for its diagnosis, risk of transmission of the disease to any descendants, possibilities for avoiding its inheritance, and the risk of recurrence.
Who is it for?
When is it important to seek genetic counselling?
Genetic counselling is aimed at patients or families who may be at risk of having or transmitting a genetic disease.
Every patient that will undergo a genetic test to establish a disease diagnosis should be informed about said test in advance so they have all the necessary information related to their case.
Genetic counselling is also aimed at medical specialists that can request genetic tests, so that they can be best informed about the suitability and scope of said tests.
Our team of experts help patients and prescribing physicians both before and after tests are performed in order to provide them with personalized assistance tailored to their needs.
Some of the most common tests that can benefit from being performed alongside genetic counselling are for:
Cardiopathies
Familial cancer
Neurodevelopmental disorders
Infertility
