What to expect during your genetic analysis consultation?
The doctor will first discuss your medical and family history with you. If genetic analysis is recommended, a simple blood or saliva sample will be collected for DNA testing. Once the test is completed, the doctor will explain you the findings and discuss next steps with you (prevention plan with recommendations for lifestyle, necessary check-ups, or treatment).
