Why genetic counselling is a part of Pregnancy Insightome Program?
Our genetic counselling is driven by the primary objective of helping you understand and interpret the InsightomeTM genetic test report results for its effective alignment and synergism with your pregnancy. The counsellors evaluate the interaction between your genes and your real life personal and family health parameters to provide meaningful interventions. The illustration below captures how the interplay between your genetic profile and your environment contribute to manifestation of medical conditions.
For many pregnancies associated medical conditions (like gestational diabetes or preeclampsia) each woman has some predisposition (risk) of developing the condition during their pregnancy. This diagram represents this as a bucket- a woman experiences the condition when their bucket gets full up. Most health conditions arise due to a combination of genetic and other risk factors.
Genetic Factors
Other Factors
Everyone starts life with some genetic predisposition (risk) factors for the condition. Some women have very few, some women have a lot. You are born with this risk and you can’t change it. Insightome aims to measure this predisposition for you.
Over the course of life, we are exposed to other factors that increases the chance of them experiencing the condition.
If you had more genetic risk factors in your bucket to begin with, it takes fewer other risk factors to fill the bucket and result in the health condition.
If you had more genetic risk factors in your bucket to begin with, it takes fewer other risk factors to fill the bucket and result in the health condition.
Even if you have a ‘high genetic risk’ of a particular condition, for most health conditions, having a high genetic risk does not mean you’ll get it.
By working on the factors you can change, you might be able to reduce the change of developing a health condition, even if you have a high genetic risk.
Your certified Insightome counsellors takes into consideration these aspects to provide interventions that can help to reduce the chances of developing medical conditions or nutritional deficiencies during your pregnancy. These recommendations help you and your treating clinician plan your pregnancy better to improve the pregnancy outcomes.
