The value of genetic testing depends on factors like the specific test, potential health benefits, and personal preferences. It can offer valuable insights into health risks and inform treatment decisions, making it worth considering for some individuals.
The risks and benefits of you having a genetic test
The potential results of your test and what they mean
How your family members may be affected if the test shows a serious health condition runs in your family
The risk of you and your partner passing on a health condition to your children
Your options if you have a child with an inherited health condition and you do not want your next child to inherit it
At the Genetic Health Hub, we conduct genetic testing using a sample of your saliva. We provide patients with a simple-to-use, non-invasive test kit that they can easily administer at home. Once the sample is collected, it is sent to our industry-leading lab for analysis. Our state-of-the-art laboratory employs advanced technology and rigorous quality control measures to ensure accurate and reliable results. After analysis, patients receive comprehensive reports detailing their genetic insights, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
You have a change in your genes which is known to cause a health condition
You do not have a change in your genes which is known to cause a health condition
It's not clear what the results mean for your health (but doctors may have a better understanding of the results in the future)
After you get your results, you may be referred to a genetic counsellor to help you understand what they mean for you and your family.
