Genetic counseling is an essential part of reproductive planning for many couples and individuals. SheIVF lists 1 verified genetic counseling specialists in Mumbai — including clinical geneticists and fertility specialists with genetics expertise — with confirmed credentials and transparent fees.
Genetic counseling is a professional service that helps individuals and couples understand the genetic factors that may affect their reproductive health and the health of their children. It involves assessing personal and family medical history, explaining the inheritance of genetic conditions, and discussing options including preconception testing, prenatal diagnosis, and pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT). Genetic counseling is provided by clinical geneticists and trained fertility specialists at specialist centres in Mumbai.
Genetic counseling is recommended for couples with a family history of hereditary conditions such as thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, or spinal muscular atrophy; couples with a previous child born with a genetic condition; couples with a history of recurrent miscarriage or multiple IVF failure; women of advanced maternal age; and couples where one or both partners are known carriers of a genetic condition.
A genetic counseling consultation in Mumbai involves a detailed review of personal and family medical history, discussion of the specific genetic risk, explanation of inheritance patterns, and guidance on available testing options. Testing may include carrier screening for the couple, chromosomal karyotyping, single-gene testing, or pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) if IVF is planned. The counselor helps the couple understand results and make informed reproductive decisions.
Genetic counseling itself is a consultative service — its success is measured by how well couples understand their genetic risks and make informed decisions. Pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) as a result of genetic counseling can achieve live birth rates of 60 to 70 percent per transfer when chromosomally or genetically normal embryos are selected. Prenatal diagnosis through chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis has diagnostic accuracy of greater than 99 percent.
Genetic counseling consultation fees in Mumbai vary by the complexity of the case and the tests required. Indicative consultation fees are listed on SheIVF. Genetic testing costs are separate and vary by the type and number of tests.
When choosing a genetic counselor or genetics-experienced fertility specialist in Mumbai, look for someone who explains complex genetic information in accessible terms, respects your reproductive autonomy, and provides non-directive guidance — presenting options without prescribing a particular choice.
Genetic counseling itself carries no physical risk. Genetic testing options such as carrier screening and PGT are safe. Invasive prenatal tests such as CVS and amniocentesis carry a small procedural risk of pregnancy loss — approximately 0.5 to 1 percent. Discuss the risks and benefits of any testing option openly with your counselor in Mumbai.

Before pregnancy if you have a family history of a genetic condition, carry a known genetic mutation, or have had a previous child with a genetic condition. During IVF planning if PGT is being considered. Consult a specialist in Mumbai for personalised guidance.
PGT is genetic testing of embryos created through IVF before transfer to identify chromosomally or genetically normal embryos. It is used for couples with known genetic conditions, recurrent IVF failure, or recurrent miscarriage.
Common carrier screening includes thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Expanded carrier screening panels testing for multiple conditions are also available. Your genetic counselor in Mumbai will advise based on your background.
Not compulsory for all IVF patients. However, it is strongly recommended for couples with a known genetic risk, recurrent IVF failure, or recurrent miscarriage. PGT cannot be ordered without genetic counseling in most accredited ART clinics.
