genetic counseling
Genetic counseling is a process of providing guidance and support to individuals or families, especially those with a history of genetic disorders, by evaluating their risk of inheriting or passing on a genetic condition through comprehensive medical and family history analysis. It helps individuals make informed decisions about genetic testing, reproductive choices, and understanding the implications of genetic conditions on their health and wellbeing.
