Research Notes on Genetic Counseling
If you or your partner's history suggests that genetic counseling is appropriate, your doctor may refer you to a genetic counselor. A genetic counseling session can assist you in understanding your family's medical history in order to assess the possibility or likelihood of passing on certain genetic diseases or disorders. It can also help you to learn what types of tests or prevention strategies may be right for you.
