Genetic Counselling
Understanding genetic factors in autism and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Our genetic counselling services help families understand the genetic components of autism spectrum disorders and other neurodevelopmental conditions.
Research suggests that genetic factors play a significant role in autism spectrum disorder. While there is no single autism gene, a complex interplay of genetic variations can influence neurodevelopment. Genetic counselling helps families understand these factors and make informed decisions.
