Genetic counselors
Menu
Genetic counselors see patients and families for a variety of reasons. Often it is to discuss testing and screening options or to review previous test results. It may be to assess the risk of a medical condition that can run in families or if you experienced an abnormal pregnancy outcome. Genetic counselors also review current medications and environmental exposures for safety during a pregnancy.
Services can include:
- Prenatal screening
- CVS
- Amniocentesis
- Genetic and blood testing
- Follow-up on abnormal tests
Minnesota Perinatal Physicians, part of Allina Health, provides genetic counseling services. In most cases, you will be referred to genetic counseling services by your primary care provider.
