Genetic Counselor

💊 ਸਿਹਤ

A genetic counselor is a specialist who provides families with information about the genetic conditions that affect them. They work across several specialties. Healthcare professionals refer patients to these scientists during certain milestones in their medical journey. Individuals planning for pregnancy will have tests to determine which conditions run in the family that may affect the fetus. If no tests were completed before conception, one is done during the pregnancy to check for any abnormalities or other detected problems. If those tests are normal but the child shows signs of a disorder, doctors will refer the parents to a genetic counselor for screening, and if an individual has symptoms of a hereditary condition, the counselor can run a test to check for certain markers.

ਇੱਕ Genetic Counselor ਕੀ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ?

A genetic counselor, or genetic nurse, uses data and analysis to investigate patient DNA and assess the risk of genetically inherited conditions. Their duties include providing genetic testing, determining hereditary disease risk factors and educating and counseling patients and families.
