Clinical Genetics
Clinical Genetics is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and managing genetic disorders. It involves studying how genes and heredity influence health and disease. Geneticists work with patients to understand their family history and may conduct tests to identify genetic conditions.
In Clinical Genetics, healthcare professionals provide guidance on the risks of inherited diseases and offer support for affected individuals and families. They may recommend treatments, preventive measures, or lifestyle changes based on genetic findings. This field plays a crucial role in personalized medicine, helping tailor healthcare to individual genetic profiles.
