enetic counseling gives you information about how genetic conditions might affect you or your family. The genetic counselor or other healthcare professional will collect your personal and family health history. They can use this information to determine how likely it is that you or your family member has a genetic condition. Based on this information, the genetic counselor can help you decide whether a genetic test might be right for you or your relative.
Based on your personal and family health history, your doctor can refer you for genetic counseling. There are different stages in your life when you might be referred for genetic counseling:
Planning for Pregnancy: Genetic counseling before you become pregnant can address concerns about factors that might affect your baby during infancy or childhood or your ability to become pregnant, including
Genetic conditions that run in your family or your partner’s family
History of infertility, multiple miscarriages, or stillbirth
Previous pregnancy or child affected by a birth defect or genetic condition
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) options
During Pregnancy: Genetic counseling while you are pregnant can address certain tests that may be done during your pregnancy, any detected problems, or conditions that might affect your baby during infancy or childhood, including
History of infertility, multiple miscarriages, or stillbirth
Previous pregnancy or child affected by a birth defect or genetic condition
Abnormal test results, such as a blood test, ultrasound, Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis
Maternal infections, such as Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and other exposures such as medicines, drugs, chemicals, and x-rays
Genetic screening that is recommended for all pregnant women, which includes cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and any conditions that run in your family or your partner’s family
Caring for Children: Genetic counseling can address concerns if your child is showing signs and symptoms of a disorder that might be genetic, including
Abnormal newborn screening results
Birth defects
Intellectual disability or developmental disabilities
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
Vision or hearing problems
Managing Your Health: Genetic counseling for adults includes specialty areas such as cardiovascular, psychiatric, and cancer. Genetic counseling can be helpful if you have symptoms of a condition or have a family history of a condition that makes you more likely to be affected with that condition, including
Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome
Lynch syndrome (hereditary colorectal and other cancers)
Familial hypercholesterolemia
Muscular dystrophy and other muscle diseases
Inherited movement disorders such as Huntington’s disease
Inherited blood disorders such as sickle cell disease
Trying to show some ethics about clinical genetics... There are many peoples in our society who believes about the natural process but they do not want to accept the works of the bio technologist and also about the mutational process. but as a bio technologist, we know that this process can be done by us in many ways. but general people do not want to accept our works..here are some ethics about the clinical genetics...

Computers can teach at any level of learning, from knowledge & comprehension up through application, analysis & synthesis. They can be programmed to teach problem solving & decision making. One of the biggest advantages of computers over most of other audiovisual technologies is that students are an active participant in the learning process, able to manipulate information, take action to various situations & use trial & error
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has
defined ‘Child Abuse’ as a violation of basic
human rights of a child, constituting all forms of
physical, emotional ill treatment, sexual harm,
neglect or negligent treatment, commercial or
other exploitation, resulting in actual harm or
potential harm to the child’s health, survival,
development or dignity in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust or power. ‘Child
Neglect’ is stated to occur when there is failure
of a parent/guardian to provide for the development of the child, when a parent/guardian is in
a position to do so (where resources available
to the family or care giver; distinguished from
poverty).
Computer assisted learning,Computer assisted learning describes is to conveys a vast amount of information in a very short period of time.
It is a powerful method of reinforcing concepts and topics first introduced to students through textbook and discussion in classroom .
Health and wellness are two fundamental concepts that are integrated throughout the program. Health is a
state of well-being that encompasses physical, psychological, social, economic and spiritual dimensions.
Wellness is the individual’s perception of wellness and is influenced by the presence of disease and
individual’s ability to adapt. Health is a right of all people. Individuals have a right to be active
participants in achieving health as they perceive it.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Counseling is a process of
communicating between two or more
persons who meet to solve a problem,
resource a curse or take decision on
various matters. It is not a one way
process where in the counseling tells
the client what to do nor it is a forum
for presentation of the counselor’s
values.
Genetic counseling process follows
these basic characteristic of a
counseling process. It is undertaken
with families confronted with genetic
and inherited disorders.
Sheldon Reed proposed the
terminology “GENETIC
COUNSELING in 1947”.
3. The American society of
human Genetic define
“Genetic Counseling as a
communication process,
which deals with human
problems associated with the
occurrence or the risk of
occurrence of a genetic
disorder in a family”.
4. Provide concrete, accurate information
about inherited disorders.
Reassure people who are concerned that
their child may inherit a particular
disorder that the disorder will not occur.
Allow people who are affected by
inherited disease to make informed choice
about future reproduction.
Educate people about inherited disorder
and the process of inheritance.
Offer support by skilled health care
professionals to people who are affected
by genetic disorders.
5. If a standard prenatal screening test
(such as α fetoprotein test) yields an
abnormal result.
An amniocentesis yields n unexpected
results (such as chromosomal defect in
the unborn baby).
Either parent or close relative has an in
heritance disease or birth defect, either
parents already has children with birth
defect or genetic disorders.
The mother has had two or more
miscarriage or a baby dies in infancy.
The mother is 35yrs of age or over.
The partner is blood relatives.
6. 1. Prospective genetic counseling :-
This allows for the true prevention of
disease.
This requires identifying heterozygous
individuals for any particular defect by
screening.
Ex : sickle cell anemia , thalassemia
2. Retrospective genetic counseling :-
Most genetic counseling at present is
retrospective , the hereditary disorder has
already occurred within the family.
Ex . Mental retardation, psychiatric illness
7. An accurate diagnosis of disorder. To complete an
accurate diagnosis the following procedure should be
followed
HISTORY:
A proper record of the history of the patient is
necessary:
This includes both present and relevant past history
Family history includes siblings and other relatives
also.
Kindly note if there is any other person in the family
with a similar problem
Obstetric history of includes exposure to teratogens
(drugs, X- rays) in pregnancy.
History of abortion or still birth if any should be
recorded. Enquiry should be made about consanguinity
as it increases the risk especially in autosomal recessive
disorders
8. PEDIGREE CHARTING
At a glance this offers in a concise
manner the state of disorder in a family.
Constructing a pedigree with proper
interrogation though time consuming, is
ultimately rewarding. If forms an
indispensable step towards counseling
ESTIMATION OF RISK
It forms one of the most important
aspects of genetic counseling. It is often
called recurrence risk. To estimate it
one requires to take into account
following points:
Mode of inheritance
Analysis of pedigree or family tree
Results of various tests
9. TRANSMITTING INFORMATION
After completing the diagnosis, pedigree charging and
estimation of risk the next most important step is of
communicating this information to the consultants.
This important functioning involves various factors such as:
Psychology of the patient.
The Emotional stress under prevailing circumstances.
Attitude of family members towards the patients.
Educational, social and financial background of the family.
Gaining confidence of consultants in subsequence meetings
during follow up.
Ethical, moral and legal implications involved in the process.
Above all, communication skills to transmit facts in an
effective manner i.e. making them more acceptable and
palatable.
10. MANAGEMENT:
In genetics, “Treatment” implies a very limited scope. It
naturally aims for prevention rather then cure. In fact for
most of the genetic disorders cure is unknown. Treatment
is therefore directed towards minimizing the damage by
early detection and preventing further irreversible damage.
For example PKU, i.e. phenylketonuria. This disorder is
characterized by a deficiency of phenylalanine
hydroxylase enzyme, which is necessary for the
conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine
11. Genetic counselors work with people concerned about the risk
of an inherited disease or condition.
These people represent several different populations
Prenatal Genetic Counseling
There are several different reasons a person or couple may seek
prenatal genetic counseling. If a woman is of age 35 or older
and pregnant, then there is an increased chance that her fetus
may have a change in the number of chromosomes present.
Changes in chromosome number may lead to mental
retardation and birth defects
Prenatal tests that are offered during genetic counseling
include
Level II Ultrasound
The maternal serum AFP
Chorionic Villus sampling (CVS)
Amniocentesis
12. Pediatric Genetic Counseling
when a child has features of an inherited condition. Any
child who is born with more than one defect, mental
retardation or dysmorphic features has an increased
chance of having a genetic syndrome.
Adult Genetic Counseling
Adults may seek genetic counseling when a person in
the family decided to be tested for the presence of a
known genetic condition, when an adult begins
exhibiting symptoms of an inherited condition, or when
there is a new diagnosis of someone with an adult-onset
disorder in the family
In addition, the birth of a child with obvious features of
a genetic disease leads to diagnosis of a parent who is
more mildly affected
13. Cancer Genetic Counseling
A family history of early onset breast, ovarian or colon
cancer in multiple generations of family is a common reason
a person would seek a genetic counselor who works with
people who have cancer.
While most cancer is not inherited, there are some families
in which a dominant gene is present and causing the
disease
A genetic counselor is able to discuss the chances that the
cancer in the family is related to a dominantly inherited
gene.
The counselor can also discuss the option of testing for the
breast and ovarian cancer genes
14. Guiding a women or couple through
prenatal diagnosis.
Helping parents make decision in regard
to abnormal prenatal diagnostic results.
Assisting parents who have had a child
with a birth defect to locate needed
service and support.
Providing support to help the family deal
with the emotional impact of a birth
defect.
Coordinative services of other
professionals, such as social workers,
physical and occupational therapist,
psychologist & dietician.
