Monogenic Counselling

Monogenic counselling focuses on understanding genetic conditions caused by changes in a single gene. In the context of Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) genetic counselling, it helps individuals interpret their genetic test results related to specific inherited disorders. Consumers receive insights into their risk for conditions like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease, enabling informed decisions about health, family planning, and lifestyle. Unlike traditional counselling, DTC services are directly accessible, often online, allowing individuals to discuss their results without needing a doctor's referral. This empowers people to take charge of their genetic health while understanding the implications of their results.
