Everything about you, from the color of your eyes and even your personality, is in your genes. Your genetics play a role in your health, too. When genes change or mutate, they increase your chance of developing certain genetic syndromes. These syndromes can cause chronic conditions, hereditary diseases, birth differences and developmental disorders.
DNA + your health
Genetic testing can help you get the answers you need if you're concerned that you may be a carrier for a genetic condition, are experiencing symptoms or are planning to have children.
Whatever your situation, genetic testing can help you make important decisions about your and your family's health. Our physicians and certified genetics counselors are here for whatever you need, including helping you decide if genetic testing is right for you.
