Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling in pediatric genetic medicine involves helping families understand the genetic factors that may affect their child's health. Counselors provide guidance on genetic conditions, testing options, and potential risks based on family history. They interpret test results, discuss implications, and support families in making informed decisions. The goal is to empower parents with knowledge to manage their child's health and to navigate the emotional and practical challenges of genetic conditions. This process ensures that families receive the right information and resources tailored to their specific needs.
