What testing can tell us

Genetic tests look for DNA changes and have different purposes, including identifying inherited conditions or carrier status.

Understanding limitations

A result may not predict symptoms or future severity. Some results are inconclusive.

The role of counselling

Genetic counselling helps explain benefits, limitations and results so people can make informed choices.
