Why is PGT Counselling Important?

PGT counselling is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps couples to understand their risk of passing on genetic disorders to their children. With this information, couples can make informed decisions about their family planning, including whether to pursue PGT.

Secondly, PGT counselling can help couples to understand the benefits and limitations of PGT. While PGT can reduce the risk of passing on genetic disorders to offspring, it is not 100% effective, and there are some limitations to the technology. Genetic counsellors can help couples to weigh the risks and benefits of PGT and make informed decisions about their family planning.

Lastly, PGT counselling can help prepare couples for the emotional and psychological challenges that may come with the PGT process. Genetic counsellors can provide support and resources to help couples navigate these challenges and make informed decisions about their family planning.
