Genetic counseling is a process in which individuals or families at risk of genetic disease are informed about the causes, consequences and management of these diseases. Every individual's genetic makeup is unique; the genetic basis of every disease and condition is specific to the person and the family.
Not every piece of information you come across or research may be right for you or your family; remember that genes and DNA structures are entirely specific to each family and individual. That is why consulting an expert matters, and this is exactly where our physicians specialized in medical genetics come in.
Genetic counseling helps individuals understand their genetic risks and take the most appropriate steps to manage them. It supports you in understanding your genetic test results and determining the most suitable treatment and follow-up plan; family history, health status and individual risk factors are included in the process so the information is evaluated comprehensively.
