Preconception Neurology Cardiac Autism Whole Exome Sequencing Predictive Testing

Preconception

Planning a family can raise important questions about genetic health. Preconception counselling can help if you are concerned about being a carrier of a genetic condition, have a known family history of a genetic disorder, or are exploring IVF and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).

Neurology

Neurological genetic testing looks at genes affecting the brain, nerves and muscles, covering conditions such as epilepsy, muscular dystrophy and neurodegenerative disorders. Identifying a genetic cause can clarify a diagnosis, guide targeted treatment and inform your relatives of potential risks.

Cardiac

Cardiac genetic testing examines genes linked to the heart's structure and rhythm, including cardiomyopathy, inherited arrhythmias and unexplained sudden cardiac events. Understanding the genetic component helps you and your family manage risks effectively.

Autism

Autism is common and usually caused by a combination of factors, with genetics playing an important role. Genetic testing may be helpful for some children or adults, particularly where there are additional features such as developmental delay, learning disability or seizures.

Whole Exome Sequencing

Whole exome sequencing (WES) looks closely at the parts of your DNA that contain the instructions for how your body works (the exome). By analysing thousands of genes at once, it can sometimes provide answers that help with diagnosis, management and family planning.

Predictive Testing

Predictive genetic testing can tell you whether you have inherited a known genetic variant (gene fault) that runs in your family. Where a specific gene fault has already been identified in a relative, testing becomes much more accurate and meaningful.
