Let’s talk genetics for those curious people
Even if you’re a healthy adult without a strong personal or family history of disease, genetic testing can still provide valuable insights into how your genes might influence your health. Here are some things you might like to know:
Genes that are known to significantly increase the risk of hereditary cancers, cardiovascular conditions, and other important medical concerns.
Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) this is a whole new way of looking at our genes and is based on genome wide association studies (GWAS) and gives us powerful insight on the chances of someone developing a condition such as cancer, cardiovascular disease or Type 2 diabetes.
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) which is the interaction between medication and our genes and why some people have adverse reactions. Stop the trail and error with your medication and consider PGx testing.
These are just some of the things we can do but head to our service page for lots more.
Whole exome sequencing for your child*
Medicare funded
(*genetic testing is free but consult fees and qualifying criteria apply)
