3. Risk Assessment

چکیده
Throughout the history of medicine, patients and their relatives at risk of a disorder have been sought information and advise on the consequences of a disorder, the probability of developing or transmitting it and of the ways in which this may be prevented or avoided. Genetic risk assessment is the basic essence of clinical genetics. Clinical geneticists focus on probability and risk estimate, and on communicating both of these to patients via genetic counselling in ways that optimize decision making about their reproductive options or prophylactic measures to decrease their disease risk. In the molecular genetics era this demand on clinical genetics has been growing and arises also as claim of symptomless healthy persons.
