About Genetic Services
As more is learned about human genetics, healthcare
providers, media, and consumers of genetic services are
increasingly seeking information about the availability of
genetic testing for specific disorders and how genetic
testing is used. Questions about genetic testing may also
prompt questions about clinical genetic services (who
should be referred and what can be expected from a genetic
consultation). Finally, ordering a genetic test involves
many steps that differ from more routine laboratory
testing. This section was written by GeneTests staff to
address these issues.
