Randomized Trial of Telegenetic Counseling for Gene Testing in Huntington Disease
Telegenetic counseling is a feasible option for HD gene testing, if patients are able to overcome technical issues. Having a video visit with both audio and video components, rather than an audio-only phone call, should be considered when using telegenetic counseling for HD. Finally, in-person counseling may be preferred to increase understanding of the genetic counseling materials in patients, especially in motor manifest HD.
