About

Genetic Counselors are healthcare professionals who help people understand and manage genetic risks. They use their knowledge of genetics, medical science, and counseling to provide information and support to individuals and families.

Genetic Counselors identify hereditary risks through the study of genetics. Specifically, they study genetic disorders or syndromes that are inherited from one's family. Prospective parents may consult genetic counselors to assess the risk of having children with hereditary disorders, such as cystic fibrosis.
