    Genetic Counselling

    Genetic counselling is a specialised process that helps individuals understand and adapt to the medical, psychological, and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease. 

    It involves assessing family history, evaluating genetic risks, and providing guidance about testing and management options.

    Key Aspects of Genetic Counselling

    Genetic counselling involves several key steps to assess and manage genetic risks:

    • Risk Assessment and Family History: The genetic counsellor will ask you some questions to understand your family’s medical history and identify some genetic conditions that can be passed on through generations. They may use pedigree charts to map these hereditary risks.
    • Testing Recommendations: Based on the pedigree analysis, the genetic counsellor may suggest some genetic tests like carrier screening or diagnostic testing. They will guide you through the benefits, limitations, and reasons behind each test so that you can make an informed decision.
    • Result Interpretation: After the tests, the counsellor will interpret and explain the results and discuss how they will impact you and your family. They may refer you to further specialised doctors as a next step.
    • Preventive and Management Strategies: For those at increased risk, counsellors outline preventive measures, such as enhanced screening (e.g., frequent mammograms for BRCA mutation carriers), lifestyle modifications, or prophylactic surgeries. They also discuss reproductive options, like preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), for families planning pregnancies.

    When Should You Consider Genetic Counselling?

    Genetic counselling is recommended in various scenarios:

    • Family History of Inherited Conditions: Individuals with a family history of cancers (e.g., breast, ovarian, colorectal), Huntington’s disease, or cystic fibrosis may benefit from counselling to understand their risks.
    • Abnormal Pregnancy Screening Results: Couples with a history of miscarriages, stillbirths, or prenatal test abnormalities (e.g., ultrasound findings, abnormal NIPT results) often seek counselling to explore genetic causes.
    • Personal Diagnosis of Genetic Disorders: Patients diagnosed with conditions like Lynch syndrome or neurofibromatosis require counselling to manage their health and inform relatives about potential risks.
    • Pharmacogenetic Testing: Counselling can guide patients on how genetic variations might influence medication responses, such as warfarin or chemotherapy drugs.

    Benefits of Genetic Counselling

    • Informed Decision-Making: Counselling equips patients with knowledge about their genetic risks, enabling proactive health choices. For example, a person with a BRCA1 mutation might opt for preventive mastectomy or ovarian surveillance.
    • Emotional and Psychological Support: Counsellors address anxiety or guilt related to genetic risks, offering coping strategies and referrals to mental health professionals if needed.
    • Family Planning Clarity: Couples at risk of passing on genetic disorders receive insights into reproductive options, such as IVF with PGD or adoption, to reduce transmission risks.
    • Early Intervention: Identifying predispositions allows for early detection and intervention, improving outcomes. Regular colonoscopies for those with hereditary colon cancer syndromes can detect precancerous growths before they become malignant.
