The development of genetic counseling in Sweden in the field of medical genetics emerged in the 1950s, at the department of medical genetics at Uppsala University. The head of department, Jan Arvid Böök, a member of the WHO expert committee on Human Genetics, early realized the importance of studies in broadly distributed genetic diseases, along with genetic counseling.
