Genetic Counseling Sessions

Genetic counseling sessions are informative discussions between a trained professional, often a genetic counselor, and individuals or families concerned about genetic conditions. During these sessions, the counselor helps clients understand genetic testing options, the implications of test results, and the risk of inherited conditions. They evaluate family history, provide information about genetic disorders, and support patients in making informed decisions about testing and management. The goal is to empower people with knowledge about their genetic health to make choices that align with their values and circumstances.
