Pre Genetic Counselling

Welcome to Enigma Genomics, where we provide pre-genetic counselling services to individuals and families seeking guidance and support related to genetic testing and conditions. Our genetic counselors are experts in the field of genetics and are here to help you understand the potential risks and benefits of genetic testing.

What is Pre-Genetic Counselling?
Pre-genetic counselling is a consultation that takes place before a genetic test. It's a crucial step in the genetic testing process, as it helps individuals and families understand the potential implications of genetic testing and whether it's the right choice for them.

During a pre-genetic counselling session, our genetic counselors will take a detailed medical and family history to assess your risk for certain genetic conditions. We will also discuss your concerns, answer your questions, and explain the testing options available to you. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision about genetic testing and empower you with the knowledge you need to make the best decision for yourself and your family.

What to Expect During Pre-Genetic Counselling?

During a pre-genetic counselling session, you can expect our genetic counselor to:

1. Review your medical and family history: Our genetic counselor will ask you about your personal medical history, your family's medical history, and any genetic conditions that may run in your family.
2. Discuss genetic testing options: Our genetic counselor will explain the different types of genetic tests available, such as carrier testing, prenatal testing, and preimplantation genetic testing, and discuss the potential benefits and limitations of each.
3. Discuss the implications of genetic testing: Our genetic counselor will explain the potential psychological, social, and ethical implications of genetic testing, including the possibility of unexpected results and how to navigate them.
4. Address your concerns and questions: Our genetic counselor will provide you with an opportunity to ask questions and express your concerns about genetic testing.
5. Provide emotional support: Our genetic counselor will offer emotional support to help you cope with the implications of genetic testing and provide guidance on how to share the information with family members.

At Enigma Genomics, we believe that pre-genetic counselling is an essential step in the genetic testing process. Our genetic counselors are here to provide you with the information and support you need to make an informed decision about genetic testing.
