The Genetic Counselling Centre is a point of contact for patients and doctors alike. The genetic material, also known as the genome, comprises the totality of a person’s heritable information. Variants or changes in the genetic material can be the cause of certain diseases or influence susceptibility to them. For these reasons, genetic information can be of considerable importance to individuals, couples or families in relation to the diagnosis of diseases, personal life planning and decisions regarding having children. This information is obtained through genetic testing.
