Not sure when you need a genetic test?

In general, not all diseases are inherited from your family genes. So, in some cases you may not need a genetic test. In addition some diseases cannot be tested via a genetic test as yet and new genetic tests are constantly being developed.

We perform a detailed assessment to order the right genetic test from over 700,000 tests available. A genetics expert will evaluate your detailed family history to look for disease patterns that may be recurring and likely being passed through to you or your children due to family genetics. We order genetic testing only when appropriate and applicable.

You will get your detailed history and genetic risk assessment as part of your first appointment. If your genetic risk assessment indicates a genetic test is required, we will order one for you after obtaining your patient consent. If a test is ordered, we will review the results with you and provide a detailed report for use with a primary care physician .

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.

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.
