Pediatric Genetics

The health of children is influenced by their Genetic makeup. Genetic testing can assist if the child has an inherited condition. A simple genetics test can uncover the genetic causes underlying the issue, providing patients and the doctor with insight into the intricacies of inherited diseases. The act of helping people comprehend and adjust to the medical, psychological, and familial implications of hereditary contributions to disease is known as paediatric genetic counselling. Pediatric genetic counsellors are health-care specialists with advanced degrees in medical genetics and counselling who have worked with children. They collaborate with other members of the health-care team to educate and support people with genetic abnormalities, birth defects, and those who are at risk for a variety of inherited diseases.
