Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling in Mysore

Overview 

Genetic counseling in Mysore at Manipal Hospital Mysore offers personalised risk assessment and testing guidance for hereditary cancers, prenatal screening, and rare disorders. Certified counselors construct family pedigrees, calculate inheritance probabilities, and interpret genomic variants using ACMG guidelines. As genetic therapy in Mysore advances, comprehensive preconception counselling, carrier screening, and pharmacogenomics optimise reproductive choices and treatment responses through multidisciplinary genetics clinics.

How It Works 

With Manipal Hospital, genetic counselling in Mysore begins with an in-depth conversation about your personal and family health history. Doctors often look at health patterns across three generations to understand whether a condition may be inherited and how it could affect other family members. This step helps identify possible genetic risks and decide which tests, if any, are truly necessary.

Before any testing is done, counsellors take time to explain what genetic results can and cannot tell you. They discuss the possibility of uncertain findings, unexpected results, and the emotional impact that genetic information may carry. Only after this discussion are appropriate blood or genetic tests recommended.

Once results are available, a follow-up session is arranged to explain them in simple language. Doctors discuss what the findings mean for your health, future care, and family planning options. If needed, testing is extended to close relatives to identify shared risks early. Genetic counselling also supports pregnancy-related testing and medication guidance, helping individuals and families make informed, confident decisions at every stage of life.
