Genetic counselling
Before undergoing any genetic testing, it is necessary to have a geneticist help you understand which tests might be beneficial for you and your family members.
In order to correctly interpret the results obtained and their clinical implications, it is necessary to know the patient's clinical and family history, as well as the information provided by other medical and/or laboratory tests.
Likewise, it should be a geneticist, within a genetic counseling consultation, who should inform you of the implications that the variant identified in the study may have on your health and that of other members of your family, and what are the appropriate measures to take.
