Consulting available in ENGLISH only at present.
Genetic counsellors ask patients and their families about medical history during consultations. Their recommendations for diagnostic testing will be based on the patient's and their family's medical history, which will help them understand any underlying health concerns, identify any potential genetic illnesses, and assess the likelihood of problems during pregnancy or transmission to future generations. The consultation would be more helpful if you come prepared with correct information on your health and the health of your blood relatives. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and the doctor will gladly explain the process of the genetic test.
A genetic counselor plays a key role not only in diagnosis and treatment planning but also in supporting patients in managing genetic risks and their impact on life. Among the main goals of this initial consultation are:
1. Briefly assess the family history:
Detailed collection of information about the health status of the patient and their family members to estimate genetic risk.
2. Explanation of genetic concepts:
Providing clear and understandable information about the genetic basis of diseases, inheritance, and risks.
3. Recommendation for genetic testing:
Identification of appropriate genetic tests based on the patient's personal and family history.
