Types of Genetic Tests We Offer

• Hereditary Cancer Screening: Genetic testing for cancer checks for gene changes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 that increase the risk of breast, ovarian, and related cancers.

• Carrier Screening: This test identifies gene changes that usually do not affect the carrier’s health but can be passed to a child and may lead to inherited conditions.

• Prenatal Genetic Testing: This test analyzes fetal genetic material during pregnancy and screens for conditions such as Down syndrome.

• Reproductive Genetic Counseling: This service helps you understand genetic test results during pregnancy planning or IVF. A specialist explains what the results may mean for your future child and your family and guides you through possible next steps so decisions are clearer.

Benefits of Genetic Testing

• Guide personalized screening and prevention plans: Doctors use genetic results to plan appropriate screening timelines and select tests based on your personal and family medical history.
