Abstract
"Over the last few decades, we have seen a major change in the field of medicine, due to the development of the science of human genetics. The traditional focus on diseases themselves has now turned towards the risk of illness. This evolution may make possible the understanding, treatment or even prevention of some diseases. With the help of good quality genetic counselling families, may in some cases, have the opportunity to avoid passing on to their descendents serious conditions and thus change the destiny which weighs over those affected."
