Summary: "Rapid increases in tests and technologies, media attention, and the expansion of genetic medicine and testing beyond conditions that are exclusively genetic in nature to common chronic illnesses with both genetic and environmental components (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, cancer), have raised demand for genetic counselling services and changing the scope of practice. Genetic counselors help individuals and families understand complex medical information, including diagnosis, prognosis, management options, risk, and heredity issues. They aid patients in decision-making while respecting ethical, familial, and cultural standards"-- Provided by publisher.
