Genetic counseling is the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease. This process integrates the following: Interpretation of family and medical histories to assess the chance of disease occurrence or recurrence. This involves education about inheritance, testing, management, prevention, resources and research and counseling to promote informed choices and adaptation to the risk or condition.
