What is Clinical Genetics?

If a medical condition seems to run in your family, it could be the result of certain genes. Family members who carry the same genetic marker may be more likely to have certain medical conditions or diseases. Knowing if you have this genetic marker can help guide treatment for the best outcome.

Clinical genetics analyzes your DNA to:

• Predict disease risk
• See if you have certain genetic markers
• Diagnose disease
• Treat disease
• Manage rare genetic disorders
