Genetics
Genetic counselling helps you understand what a genetic result means for you and any children, what testing options exist and what the limitations are. It is recommended before carrier screening decisions, PGT-M or PGT-SR, and when considering the transfer of a mosaic embryo. It is provided in South Africa by genetic counsellors and clinical geneticists registered with the HPCSA.
