Model for implementing genetic diagnostics and counseling in Bangladesh. Patients will be identified, and histopathological and biochemical tests will be performed using the available facilities of the collaborating medical colleges. The molecular analysis will be performed at the genetic facilities of the university and foreign collaborators. This “Medical College-University-Foreign expert” model can be an effective model for setting up genetic counseling service provision systems in low-income and lower-middle-income countries.
