Core Tip	This paper aims at discussing the aspects and challenges which have to be faced during genetic counselling in the new post-Human Genome Project era with beneficial impact on human disease, health care, and medical benefits. With the surge of genetic tests and technologies, genetic counsellors are faced with the challenge of translating emerging scientific knowledge into practical information for patients, clinicians same as for public health policy makers and the needs for genetic counselling should be designed into genomic research at the onset. Genetic counsellors need to handle old while rapidly assimilating new information.
