Genetic Counseling
The American Board of Genetic Counseling was established in the early 1990s, and now various types of geneticists, including genetic counselors, medical geneticists, and basic human geneticists, can be certified.

Genetic Counseling (ASHG, 1975) “GC is a communication process that deals with the human problems associated with the occurrence or risk of occurrence of a genetic disorder in a family. This process involves an attempt by one or more appropriately trained persons to help the individual or family to (1) comprehend the medical facts, including the diagnosis, probable course of the disorder, and the available management; (2) appreciate the way heredity contributes to the disorder and the risk of recurrence in specified relatives; (3) understand the alternatives for dealing with the risk of recurrence; (4) choose a course of action that seems to them appropriate in their view of their risk, their family goals, and their ethical and religious standards, and act in accordance with that decision; and (5) make the best possible adjustment to the disorder in an affected family member and/or to the risk of recurrence of that disorder."

Genetic Counseling (NSGC, 2006)
“GC is the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological, and familial implications of genetic contributions of disease. The process integrates the following: (1) interpretation of family and medical histories to assess the chance of disease occurrence or recurrence; (2) education about inheritance, testing, management, prevention, resources, and research; and (3) counseling to promote informed choices and adaptation to the risk of the condition."

Chromosomal disorder: Recurrence risk?
• Chromosomal syndromes usually have a low recurrence risk. (The observed frequency of a recurrence is taken as an Empirical Recurrence Risk)
• Even when a parent carries a balanced chromosome rearrangement, the recurrence risk among the offspring is usually less than 15%.

AR ·Affected offspring usually born to unaffected parents
· Chance of affected offspring is 25% for children of carriers
· If both parents are affected, all children will exhibit trait
· Affects either sex
· Increased incidence with parental consanguinity
AD Affected individual has at least one affected parent
Children with one affected parent have 50% risk of being affected
Affects either sex
XR · Affects almost exclusively males
· Not transmitted from father to son
· If female inherits, father must have trait

Multifactorial disorder: Recurrence risk?
• The sibling recurrence risks for multifactorial conditions are usually 5% or less.
• The risk of recurrence in first-degree relatives of affected individuals may be increased over the background incidence of the disease in the population.
• Recurrence risks are estimated empirically by studying as many families with the disorder as possible and observing how frequently the disorder recurs. (Empirical recurrence risk!)

The Process of Genetic Counseling!
• Obtain a history that includes family and ethnic information.
• Advise patients of the genetic risks to them and other family members.
• Offer genetic testing or prenatal diagnosis or PGD
• Outline the various treatment or management options for reducing the risk of disease.

Bayesian analysis ( Bayes 定理)
• A mathematical method widely used in genetic counseling to calculate recurrence risk.
• Posterior probability 后概率 = Joint probability 联合概率 / Σ Joint
probability 联合概率之和 Joint probability= Prior probability 前概率 ×Conditional
probability 条件概率

Recurrence riskMary’s two brothers and her mother all had Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and are now dead. Based on only this information, what is the probability that Mary is a heterozygous carrier for this disorder? What is the probability that she will produce affected offspring? Suppose Mary has a serum creatine kinase (CK) test and is told that her level is above the 95th percentile for homozygous normal individuals. Approximately two thirds of DMD carriers have CK levels above the 95th percentile. Given this information, use Bayes theorem to calculate the probability that Mary is a carrier and the probability that she will produce affected offspring.

Mary is a carrier
Mary is not a carrier
Prior probability 1/2 1/2
Conditional probability that her CK is in the 95th percentile
2/3 0.05
Joint probability 1/3 0.025
Posterior probability 0.93 0.07
Since the probability that she would transmit the DMD gene to her male offspring is 1/2, the probability of producing an affected male increases from 0.25 to 0.47 (1/2 × 0.93).
