Know Your Genes: Understanding Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling is the process of helping individuals and families affected by or at risk for genetic disorders understand and adapt to the medical, psychological and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease. Genetic counselors have advanced training in medical genetics and counseling to help individuals and families with this information.
