Genetic Counseling in Pediatrics

Genetic counseling in pediatrics is a process where trained professionals help families understand genetic conditions that may affect their children. This involves discussing the child's health, family history, and any genetic tests. Counselors provide information about potential risks, diagnosis, and management of genetic disorders, helping families make informed decisions. They also offer emotional support and resources, guiding families through the complexities of genetics and its implications for their child's health and future. Ultimately, the goal is to empower families with knowledge and options.
