Your Genetic Counselor conducts an assessment of your risk of inherited diseases caused by genetic mutation. If the genetic counselor recommends Genetic Testing, here are the steps to expect.
Step 1: As part of the recommendation for Genetic Testing, the Genetic Counselor will provide education and counseling around what to expect from a genetic test and what the results may mean to you and your family.
Step 2: For the Genetic test, a DNA sample is obtained through a saliva swab and sent to a specialized lab. The testing looks for changes, called mutations or variants, in your DNA..
Step 3: Once the results of the Genetic test are received from the lab, the genetic counselor will review the results with you in detail. Your Genetic Counselor will also help you understand what the results mean for you and your family, and if required how to talk to your family about your test results. Based on your results, your genetics expert may also provide guidance and referrals for everything from lifestyle changes to appropriate medical providers.
This assessment is made by a Genetics Expert based on you and your family medical history. In some cases, a panel test is ordered looking for specific genetic mutations known to cause certain specific types of cancers. In other cases, a broader multipanel test is ordered that looks at a variety of genes. In this type of multi-panel test we can assess multiple genes associated with a particular type of disease.
A genetic expert is trained to identify and order the appropriate test from over 700,000 genetic tests available from various labs across the country.

They were so fast and also kind and patient with my questions
I’m an active 45yr old man with a healthy lifestyle. But my father and 2 uncles died of sudden heart attacks at around the same age. I have always dreaded getting old and felt that I’m going to drop dead one-day before my boys grow up.Genexsure gave me my life back. I got tested and don’t have it but I will now get my brothers tested as well. This is a life saver and gave me confidence to dream of life beyond 50.
Thank you so much {genetics expert}. Speaking with you today was refreshing and helpful! Thank you for all the time you spent with us and for the resources. I look forward to getting in touch with others to learn more about this and to finding out ways to be proactive, as well as spreading awareness.
Since partnering with Genexsure I’ve had a higher success rate with screening families for inherited disease. In addition, they provide an accurate 3 generation pedigree that can be formalized in the electronic health record that serves as a roadmap for further discussions with my patients.
