A genetic counselor in Gujarat is a certified healthcare professional who helps individuals and families understand the implications of genetic test results, hereditary conditions, and reproductive risk — including the region's high rates of thalassemia and sickle cell disease carrier status.
One of Gujarat's only BGCI certified genetic counselors — available in-person in Ahmedabad and online for patients in Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Gandhinagar, and all cities across Gujarat.
Gujarat's unique demographic and community genetics create specific, elevated risks that go unaddressed when genetic testing is done without a qualified counselor to interpret the results.
Gujarat has one of India's highest thalassemia carrier rates. In some communities, nearly 1 in 10 individuals carries a beta-thalassemia gene — making pre-marital and pre-pregnancy screening critical.
Large Jain, Patel, and other endogamous communities in Gujarat carry distinct founder genetic variants. Consanguineous marriages further increase the risk of recessive genetic conditions appearing in children.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer are increasingly identified in Gujarati families. Genetic counseling before and after testing is essential for informed decision-making.
Genomic testing (WES/WGS) is now widely available in Gujarat, but there are very few BGCI certified counselors to interpret variant reports and guide families — leaving patients without the support they need.
From thalassemia counseling to hereditary cancer genetics, every service is available both in-person in Ahmedabad and online across Gujarat.
