- General Info
- Northern nevada genetic counseling is a private genetic counseling SERVICE. "THE national society of genetic counselors (2005) defines genetic counseling AS "the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical. Psychological. And familial implications of genetic contributions to disease. This process integrates: > interpretation of family and medical histories to assess the chance of disease occurrence or recurrence. > education about inheritance. Testing. Management. Prevention. Resources and research. > counseling to promote informed choices and adaptation to the risk or CONDITION. " GENETIC counselors are members of a health care team. Providing information and support to families WHO have. Or are AT risk for, a variety of inherited conditions. Including hereditary cancer. They identify INDIVIDUALS/FAMILIES AT risk. Interpret information about genetic disorders. Analyze inheritance patterns. Assess risk of recurrence. And review available management options with the individual or FAMILY. GENETIC counselors work with clients to help them make decisions about HOW to manage their health care based on genetic risks. Genetic counseling is non-directive. The focus is on YOU and what YOU WANT. I counsel about ANY hereditary disorder. But I specialize in hereditary cancer risk assessment.
