Considering Genetic Testing for Hereditary Cancer Risk?

Alternatively, you can schedule a genetic consultation with Ambry Genetics’ partner Genome Medical, a nationwide specialty medical practice that focuses on providing expert genetic counseling for patients who may be at risk for common hereditary cancers.
The Genome Medical team of genetic experts and primary care MDs will work with patients to determine whether genetic testing is right for them, and which Ambry test might be appropriate to order.

Family Matters ‐ Next Steps After Positive Genetic Test Results
Discuss your positive genetic test results with family members, especially close relatives (children, siblings, parents). This will allow them to connect with their healthcare teams on what your genetic test result may mean for them, including how they can move forward with genetic testing since they may have the same genetic mutation.
These letters may help you share this information with your family members. They include information on how a positive genetic test result can affect families, next steps for family members and healthcare teams, and options to connect with a genetic counselor.
