Genetic Counseling provides information about how your genetics may affect your health risks or conditions that could run in the family. The genetic counselor or other healthcare professional will collect your personal and family health history. They use this information to determine how likely it is that you or your family member has a genetic risk or may have a genetic condition. Based on this information, the genetic counselor can help you decide whether a genetic test might be right for you or your relative.
