  Genetic counsellor

  A motivated genetic counselor, with a Master's degree in genetic counselling from Kasturba medical college, Manipal. I have experience in counselling patients with chromosomal disorders, rare single gene disorders, prenatal disorders and cancers. I closely interact with patient/s and their families to obtain a detailed family history, analyse family pedigrees, and along with a geneticist/ clinician examine the patient to reach a definitive diagnosis. I also partake in pretest counselling, post test counselling, obtaining consents from the patients/ families, interpretation of genetic test results, NGS data analysis, risk assessment, providing information for management and psycho-social support to families.
