Personalized Risk Assessment

Choose this Service after Initial Assessment. This Service is appropriate for clients interested in learning whether they may be eligible for genetic testing because of any health concern in the family history, particularly cancer or conditions of the following nature: cardiac, neurologic, hematologic. Detailed pedigree intake and research is involved. The most common request is for Cancer Risk Assessment.

We will elicit the most pertintent family and medical history information and consider the most relevant models and information for mutation risk, cancer risk, or genetic risk, --- to provide you and your physician key information to more fully understand your health risks and testing options. Information obtained through a Personalized Risk Assessment is key to accessing the most appropriate genetic test and medical recommendations for future healthcare, regardless of whether genetic testing is elected. For clients who choose genetic testing, a Personalized Risk Assessment permits a more thorough interpretation of test results and can be critical in the consideration of important follow-up genetic testing. (allow at least one hour for phone discussion.)
