Genetic testing involves examining your DNA; which is the set of instructions you inherit from your mother and your father, for your body’s functions.

Genetic tests may be used to identify increased risks of health problems, to choose treatments, or to assess responses to treatments. Nevertheless, if you’re a healthy person, a positive result from genetic testing doesn’t always mean you will develop a disease. On the other hand, in some situations, a negative result doesn’t guarantee that you won’t have a certain disorder.

What can you learn from testing?

There are many different types of genetic tests. Genetic tests can help to:

• Diagnose disease
• Identify gene changes that are responsible for an already diagnosed disease
• Determine the severity of a disease
• Guide doctors in deciding on the best medicine or treatment to use for certain individuals
• Identify gene changes that may increase the risk to develop a disease
• Identify gene changes that could be passed on to children
• Screen newborn babies for certain treatable conditions

Genetic test results can be hard to understand, however specialists like geneticists and genetic counselors can help explain what results might mean to you and your family.

Because genetic testing tells you information about your DNA, which is shared with other family members, sometimes a genetic test result may have implications for blood relatives of the person who had testing.

Services we offer

Diagnostic testing is used to precisely identify the disease that is making a person ill. The results of a diagnostic test may help you make choices about how to treat or manage your health.

Carrier testing is used to find people who “carry” a change in a gene that is linked to disease. Carriers may show no signs of the disease; however, they have the ability to pass on the gene change to their children, who may develop the disease or become carriers themselves. Some diseases require a gene change to be inherited from both parents for the disease to occur. This type of testing usually is offered to people who have a family history of a specific inherited disease or who belong to certain ethnic groups that have a higher risk of specific inherited diseases.

Predictive and pre-symptomatic genetic tests are used to find gene changes that increase a person’s likelihood of developing diseases. The results of these tests provide you with information about your risk of developing a specific disease. Such information may be useful in decisions about your lifestyle and healthcare.

Prenatal testing is offered during pregnancy to help identify fetuses that have certain diseases.

Nutrigenomic Testing is a new scientific discipline that uses modern genomics technology to study the relationship between genes, nutrition and health. It has long been apparent that some people respond differently from others to certain foods. Nutrigenomics allows us to understand how our genes affect the way we respond to the foods, beverages and supplements we consume.

Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling is the process by which the patients or relatives at risk of an inherited disorder are advised of the consequences and nature of the disorder, the probability of developing or transmitting it, and the options open to them in management and family planning.
