Genetics is the study of the chemistry of cells, tissues and organs associated with heredity. A molecular geneticist performs laboratory tests of genetic material and interprets those tests regarding inherited disorders. Using test results, a geneticist can provide counseling to patients and their families, with information about their condition and the risk of a genetic disorder in the family. This can help patients make informed decisions.
