Pediatric Genetic Counselling

Pediatric genetic counseling is a supportive service that helps families understand genetic conditions affecting children. It involves discussing family medical history, evaluating the child's health, and explaining the role of genetics in any diagnosed or suspected conditions. Counselors provide information about genetic tests, potential outcomes, and available treatments, helping families make informed decisions. They also offer emotional support and resources tailored to the child's unique needs. This process empowers families to better navigate the complexities of genetic issues and enhances their understanding of their child's health and development.
