Couples undergoing IVF who require clarification regarding the genetic risks associated with their embryos.
Genetic Counseling
Genetic counseling is a specialized process of evaluation and information designed to help individuals or couples understand the genetic risks associated with fertility or the transmission of hereditary conditions. This step supports informed decision-making regarding reproductive treatments and the available genetic testing options.
What is Genetic Counseling?
Genetic counseling involves analyzing individual or family genetic risks, reviewing existing test results, and recommending any additional necessary investigations. The specialist explains how certain mutations or genetic rearrangements may influence fertility or be passed on to offspring.
The process includes discussing testing options such as PGT-A, PGT-SR, PGT-M, or preconception genetic tests, as well as interpreting their results. Information is presented clearly and in a personalized manner, enabling patients to understand the implications for their reproductive plan.
Genetic counseling is an essential step in establishing appropriate therapeutic strategies, particularly in cases with a family history of genetic disorders or when previous testing has revealed abnormal findings.
Who is Genetic Counseling for?
Individuals with a family history of genetic conditions or those identified as carriers of specific mutations.
Situations in which detailed information is needed about genetic testing options and their impact on the reproductive plan.
Treatment steps
Your step-by-step guide to Genetic Counseling
Every treatment is built on a well-defined medical process, carefully structured and tailored to the individual needs of each case. The objective is for the patient to receive clear information, continuous support, and the assurance that every stage is explained in detail—from the initial consultation to the subsequent monitoring period. The entire journey is guided with professionalism, ensuring that medical decisions are made with full understanding.
Although procedures vary depending on each patient’s diagnosis, treatment always begins with a thorough evaluation of the individual situation and the establishment of a personalized strategy. This approach increases the real chances of success and ensures continuity of care throughout the entire journey toward becoming a parent.
Genetic Counseling
Depending on your medical history, test results, and planned treatments, I may recommend a genetic counseling session. I will explain which documents are useful, what to expect, and which medical information is helpful to have prepared for the discussion.
During the meeting, the genetic counselor reviews your family history, explains how genetic conditions can be inherited, and evaluates potential risks. You will also discuss which testing options may be appropriate for your situation.
If testing is recommended, blood samples may be taken for screening or diagnostic purposes. Results are typically available within 1–3 weeks, depending on the complexity of the analysis.
Once we receive the results, the genetic counselor meets with you again to interpret them and discuss how they may influence your health and fertility. Based on the findings, we will guide you toward the next steps in your treatment plan.
The genetic counselor, your physician, and the embryology team work together to adapt your fertility treatment so that it aligns completely with your genetic profile and personal goals.
