A Geneticist or Genetic Counselor is a qualified person who may or may not be a medical doctor. They have had special training in the study of genes and heredity (the passing of genetic information from parents to their children) and specializes in diagnosing and managing genetic disorders.
There are two types of geneticists: (a) laboratory geneticist – the field involves the application of genetic technologies and (b) genetic counselor – the field where geneticists work as consultants or as a nurse.
A Geneticist addresses problems like Down syndrome, Huntington's disease, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, phenylketonuria and colon cancer.
Consulting a Geneticist usually costs from Rs. 800 to 2,500 in India and US$ 150 to 3,000 abroad.
A person might be referred to a genetic counselor, medical geneticist, or other genetics professional because of a personal or family history of a genetic condition, birth defect, chromosomal disorder, hereditary cancer, two or more pregnancy losses (miscarriages), a stillbirth, or a baby who died.
