When planning a pregnancy after diagnosis, it is crucial to fully understand the cause of your first child’s genetic condition. Was their condition the result of a de novo gene mutation, or is it an inherited condition? If it is an inherited condition, how was it inherited- in an autosomal recessive or dominant pattern?
When obstacles such as location, lack of genetic counselors, and/or inability to travel and reach one, might otherwise prevent from accessing crucial genetic services. Telegenetics is the process of providing genetic counseling remotely online. It was pioneered primarily to provide genetic services to those in rural locations or areas without genetic counselors available. It allows individuals and families to undergo the genetic counseling process from the comfort and convenience of their home, or a location of their choice.
Families and/or individuals at risk of genetic conditions will undertake genetic counseling either pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, following the birth of a child, or in adulthood. Genetic counseling may be recommended for any number of reasons. These reasons may include a suspected or known risk for a genetic disorder based on family history or following genetic screening that has identified a possible higher risk.
It may identify if an individual has a specific genetic condition, is at risk of developing a genetic condition, or if they are a carrier of a genetic mutation. Individuals or families may be referred for genetic analysis and then genetic testing for rare disease –
