Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Clinical Genetics is a medical specialty that focuses on identifying, diagnosing, and managing conditions that may have a genetic or hereditary cause.
Individuals or families may benefit from a consultation if there is a family history of genetic disorders, unexplained developmental or intellectual disabilities, recurrent pregnancy loss, congenital abnormalities, or a child with an undiagnosed medical condition.
Genetic counselling helps individuals and families understand genetic conditions, possible causes, inheritance patterns, available testing, treatment options, and the potential risks for other family members.
Genetic testing examines a person's DNA to identify changes that may be associated with a particular genetic condition. The appropriate test depends on the individual's symptoms, medical history, and family history.
No. Genetic testing is recommended based on individual medical circumstances. A Clinical Genetic Doctor can determine whether testing is appropriate after reviewing the patient's history and clinical findings.
Yes. Certain genetic conditions can be identified during pregnancy through prenatal screening and diagnostic tests. The appropriate option depends on the pregnancy and individual circumstances.
Some genetic conditions can be treated or managed with medications, dietary modifications, therapies, surgery, or specialised care. Even when a condition cannot be cured, an accurate diagnosis can help with appropriate management and follow-up.
