COUNSELLING SUPPORT

Counselling to help you make an informed choice

The decision to take a genetic test can be a difficult one. The choice is yours. To help you in your decision, it is important to discuss your concerns with your doctor or genetic counselor to ensure you understand the benefits and implications.

Accurate genetic testing can bring great benefits in terms of making informed decisions about appropriate treatment or health management, but it is important to think through the possible consequences for you and your family after you know the results of the test.
