Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling is the process by which patients at risk of an inherited disease are advised about the consequences of the disease, the availability of screening, the availability of screening tests for carrier detection, and the way diseases can be prevented, avoided or treated. Some of the screening tests may include ultrasound, diagnostic tests, amniocentesis, chorion villus sampling (CVS) and fetal blood sampling(FBS).
