Understanding the Basics
Genetic testing studies your DNA and genes through a blood or saliva sample to better understand your health. This testing can identify your risk for conditions such as cancer or rare disease, helping you access specialized medical care options and make informed choices about them with your healthcare team.
Why It Matters
Genetic testing can help you make health decisions that impact you and your family. This can make actions clearer, guiding you and your healthcare provider on how to move forward.
Getting Started
Talking to your healthcare provider is the first step. They may refer you to a genetic counselor, a specialized healthcare professional, to talk about your health history or the option of genetic testing for you or your family.
