Who are genetic counselors?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Genetic counselors compile information about a couple's genetic heritage to explore whether their children might develop genetic abnormalities. Couples who face a high risk of passing along genetic defects to their children sometimes elect to adopt or not have children rather than conceive their own. In addition, prenatal testing can indicate whether the embryo or fetus is carrying genetic abnormalities.
