Genetic Counseling
Memorial Health University Physicians Savannah Perinatology offers
genetic counseling services for women throughout the region. Genetic
counseling consists of a consultation with a qualified genetic counselor
to review your family history for inherited diseases, and to assess
potential risks in a pregnancy. Genetic counselors provide educational
information and can often help minimize undue worry. They discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of genetic testing and arrange tests when
needed.
There are many types of genetic counseling. Prenatal genetic
counseling is routinely offered prior to conception or during pregnancy.
Genetic counseling is also performed for adult disorders and hereditary
cancer syndromes.
