Genetic Counselling
Helping You Make Informed Choices for a Healthy Baby
Understanding Genetics for a Stronger Start
At Ideal Genomics Centre, our Genetic Counselling for IVF and Pregnancy Planning helps couples understand how genetics may affect their fertility, pregnancy, and their baby’s health.
Our expert counsellors guide you through every step — from understanding inherited risks to choosing the right genetic tests during IVF or pregnancy — helping you make confident, informed decisions for your growing family.
What Is Genetic Counselling?
Guidance for Fertility, Pregnancy, and Beyond
Genetic counselling is a process that helps couples understand how their genes could influence fertility, conception, or the health of their baby.
Our counsellors explain:
How inherited conditions can affect conception or embryo health
What genetic tests are available before or during pregnancy
How to reduce risks and plan for a healthy baby
What results mean for your family’s future
Who Should Consider Genetic Counselling?
Genetic counselling can benefit you if:
You are planning an IVF or ICSI cycle
You or your partner have a family history of genetic or inherited disorders
You have had multiple pregnancy losses or failed IVF attempts
You are of advanced maternal or paternal age
You wish to screen embryos (PGT/PGS) before implantation
You are an expecting couple seeking prenatal screening

Our Counselling Process
Pre-Test Counselling
Your counseller will discuss your medical and family history Explain relevant tests (carrier screening, PGT, prenatal panels) to help you understand the benefits, limitations, and next steps

How We use Advanced Genetic Testing for Smarter Clinical Decisions....
Pathogen Genomics in Clinical Diagnosis
Uses genetic sequencing or molecular assays (PCR, NGS, etc.) to detect and identify infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites).
Enables rapid and accurate diagnosis, even when cultures are negative or slow-growing.
Identifies virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, guiding effective antibiotic or antiviral therapy.
Example: Whole-genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to detect drug resistance mutations
Host Genetic Factors
Studies how a patient’s genetic makeup affects susceptibility, immune response, and disease severity.
Helps predict which individuals may develop severe disease or respond poorly to certain treatments.
Example: HLA and cytokine gene variants influencing the course of viral infections like HIV or COVID-19
Clinical Applications
Personalized medicine: Tailoring infection management based on both pathogen and host genetic data.
Outbreak investigation: Genomic epidemiology helps trace sources and transmission chains in hospitals or communities.
Antimicrobial stewardship: Genomic detection of resistance markers supports targeted therapy and limits misuse of antibiotics.
Vaccine and therapeutic development: Identifying genetic targets in pathogens accelerates the design of effective interventions.
Clinical Impact
By combining genetic insights with clinical data, infectious genetics allows clinicians to:
Diagnose infections faster and with higher specificity
Choose targeted treatments
Monitor resistance and prevent outbreaks
Improve patient outcomes through precision infection management
