title: [The present role of genetic counseling].
abstract: Any couple that has given birth to an abnormal child wants to know whether such an accident may reoccur. If wrongly reassured, they may see a new malformed child born. If they are wrongly advised against having a baby, they may use permanent sterilisation. Genetic advice is thus very important and should be carried out by a team which has available the necessary facilities for diagnosis and calculation of the precise risk.
