It helps in understanding the risk of genetic disorders in their offspring or themselves. This process combines interpretation of medical histories, discussion about inheritance patterns, options for testing and management, and provision of support through conversations about diagnosis, possible outcomes, and even decisions like family planning or medical treatment.
