Genetic counseling in veterinary medicine: towards an evidence-based definition for the small animal practice
These definitions are derived from human and veterinary literature, and an evaluation based on patient data has demonstrated that these definitions meet all the criteria of a correct definition (i.e. clear, minimally sufficient, complete and valid). With these definitions and case descriptions, our aim is to contribute to the formal foundation of genetic counseling in veterinary medicine.
