Genetic health testing and services
Genetic counseling is a specialized medical service that offers information, guidance, and support to individuals or couples at risk of passing a genetic disease on to their offspring.
In a fertility clinic, this service is essential to ensure the safety of treatments and increase the chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy.
Genetic counseling is indicated in different situations:
It analyzes patients' chromosomes to detect numerical or structural alterations.
It allows you to know if the couple is a carrier of recessive mutations that could be passed on to their children.
