Understanding Genetic Laboratory Testing

Genetic tests examine chromosomes, genes, or selected variants for a defined clinical purpose.

Why is this important?

Understanding the purpose and limits of laboratory information can support a more informed conversation with a qualified healthcare professional.

How laboratory testing relates

Results can be complex and may have implications beyond the individual tested. Qualified clinical and genetic-counselling support is important before and after appropriate testing.

Before testing

Preparation is test-specific. Follow the instructions given for the exact test and contact the laboratory if fasting, timing, medicines, or specimen collection is unclear. Do not stop medicines unless a qualified professional tells you to.
