Not sure when you need a genetic test?

If you suspect or are concerned that your symptoms or diagnosis are genetic, we are here to help! Our genetic experts are well equipped to provide genetic testing recommendations for you or a family member.

We can guide patients who seek genetic testing based on their disease symptoms or a diagnosis of their siblings or first or second degree relations (parents, aunts, uncles or grandparents). We can recommend and order appropriate genetic tests where the test results may influence your current management, treatment options, clinical trial eligibility, or identify possible genetic disease risk to immediate family members.

We are a well rounded team with areas of expertise that includes hereditary cancer conditions, cardiac conditions, connective tissues disease, early-onset dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, Huntington’s disease, neuromuscular conditions, neuropathy, pediatrics, healthy screening or proactive testing, pre-conception and prenatal, pharmacogenomics, rare disease, and more! If you are unsure if your concerns fall within our expertise, please feel free to contact our team directly.

Is there a test for this?

In general, not all diseases are caused by genetic mutations that are passed down through the family. In addition some diseases cannot be tested via a genetic test as yet. More new genetic tests are constantly being developed. We perform a detailed assessment to order the right genetic test from over 700,000 tests available.

Should I get Genetic Testing to find out the cause of inherited disease in my family?

You may want to consider genetic testing in many scenarios.

You should consult with a genetic counselor or genetic expert to help you make the assessment of whether Genetic testing is right for you.

I’m worried about this particular cancer which seems to run in my family. Should I get tested?

In general, about 5 to 10 percent of all cancers are hereditary. However, this percentage can vary for certain types of cancers. For example - 15-20% of Breast and Ovarian cancer is hereditary. As not all cancers or inherited diseases are caused by genes or genetic mutations, You should consult with a genetic counselor or genetic expert to help you make the assessment of whether Genetic testing is right for you.

In general, some indications that may suggest a possible hereditary risk of cancer in an individual or family include:

receiving a cancer diagnosis at a young age (usually age 50 for breast or colon cancer)
receiving a diagnosis of rare cancer at any age
having multiple people in a family diagnosed with the same or related cancers
having multiple primary cancer diagnoses in the same person
having cancer in both sides of a paired organ (for example, both breasts or both kidneys)
being of certain ethnic backgrounds
when individuals or families have had some type of genetic mutation identified through genetic testing by another doctor, hospital, or company

What is involved in Genetic Testing and Counseling?

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.

What type of Genetic Test will I need?

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.
