Pre & Post Genetic Counselling

Welcome to Enigma Genomics, where we offer genetic counselling services to individuals and families seeking guidance and support related to genetic testing and conditions. Genetic counselling is a crucial part of the genetic testing process, as it helps patients and their families understand their risks and make informed decisions about their health. 

Pre-Genetic Counselling: Pre-genetic counselling is an important step for anyone considering genetic testing. This is the time when our genetic counsellors will talk with you about your family history, medical history and the possible genetic conditions that may be present in your family. Our genetic counsellors will help you understand the risks and benefits of genetic testing, as well as provide information on the different types of genetic testing available. We will help you understand the implications of genetic testing, including the potential psychological, social and ethical implications.

During the pre-genetic counselling session, we will also discuss the various aspects of genetic testing, such as:

1. The different types of genetic testing available, include carrier testing, prenatal testing, pre-implantation genetic testing, and more.
2. The potential benefits and limitations of each type of genetic testing.
3. The possibility of unexpected results and how we will help you navigate through them.
4. The financial and insurance coverage options for genetic testing.

Post-Genetic Counselling: Post-genetic counselling is equally important, as it provides patients and their families with the necessary support and guidance after genetic testing. After receiving your genetic test results, our genetic counsellors will review the results with you and help you understand what they mean. We will discuss the implications of the results, including any potential medical conditions or health risks that may arise as a result of the test.

If the results reveal the presence of a genetic condition or disorder, our genetic counsellors will provide information about the condition and the treatment options available. We will also offer emotional support to help you cope with the implications of the test results and provide guidance on how to share the information with family members.

In addition to post-test counselling, our genetic counsellors also offer ongoing support for patients and their families. This includes regular follow-up appointments to monitor any changes in the patient’s health status or medical condition.

At Enigma Genomics, we understand the importance of pre-and post-genetic counselling. We believe that genetic testing should be a collaborative process, and we work closely with patients and their families to ensure that they have the necessary support and guidance at every stage of the process.
