Most people are carriers for at least one genetic condition, meaning that any individual might need the help of a genetic counsellor a few times throughout their lifetime.
Last month, UK-based Sano Genetics launched Light the Way, an online support platform offering genetic testing and counselling for people suffering from motor neurone disease (MND) or with a family history of the condition.
As the demand for genetic testing and counselling booms, new approaches such as AI are being utilised to address the shortage of genetic counsellors.
