Willis Knighton Genetics Clinic

What is clinical genetics?

If a medical condition seems to run in your family, it could be the result of certain genes. Family members who carry the same genetic marker may be more likely to have certain medical conditions or diseases. Knowing if you have this genetic marker can help guide treatment for the best outcome.

Clinical genetics analyzes your DNA to:

• Predict disease risk
• See if you have certain genetic markers
• Diagnose disease
• Treat disease
• Manage rare genetic disorders

Genetic screening can offer a clearer picture of your risk for certain conditions and diseases like heart disease, cancer and more. Our team provides comprehensive genetic screening services and personalized care to help you make informed decisions about your health.

• Early detection and prevention: Genetic testing can identify the likelihood of certain diseases or conditions before symptoms appear. This allows for early intervention and preventive measures, potentially reducing the severity of the condition or even preventing it altogether.
• Informed decision-making: Knowledge of your genetic markers allows you to make informed decisions about lifestyle changes, preventive strategies and potential treatments. Being proactive can impact your long-term health and quality of life.
• Personalized health insights: Genetic screening helps you understand your unique genetic makeup to guide treatment decisions. A personalized approach to treatment can be effective and reduce the risk of adverse reactions. Genetic testing can guide the choice of certain medications as it shows how your body is likely to metabolize them.
• Peace of mind: Knowing your genetic risk gives you control over your health. Genetic testing can give you answers to long-standing questions about unexplained health issues or your family medical history.
