[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Genetic counselors typically provide information and support to individuals or families who are at risk for, or have been diagnosed with, genetic conditions. They help these individuals understand their genetic risks, explain the implications of genetic testing, interpret test results, and provide counseling on potential treatment or management options. Genetic counselors may also work closely with other healthcare professionals, conduct research, and educate the public about genetics and genetic disorders. They do not typically provide job training or education for individuals with genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome.
