Medical Conditions - Genetic Counseling

Genetic tests are done to diagnose genetic issues, and it is done by taking a sample of blood. It helps to determine whether you, your partner, or the baby have some inherited disorders. Genetic counseling is needed when there is an abnormal result shown in a prenatal screening test, amniocentesis showing abnormal results, either of the parents having inherited diseases, mother having more than two miscarriages, mother's age is more than 35 years, and either of the parents are having infections or radiation exposure. Genetic counselors give genetic counseling to overcome the issues faced by you due to these abnormal results.
