Susceptibility Testing

Susceptibility testing in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore with genetic counselling

How It Works

Assessment begins with a thorough genetics consultation where counsellors document family history, prior diagnoses, and reproductive plans to determine targeted testing options. When indicated, risk evaluation uses targeted gene panels, single gene assays, or broader sequencing sent to accredited molecular laboratories for accurate variant detection. 
Multidisciplinary consultations involve geneticists, paediatricians, and relevant specialists who interpret variants and discuss clinical significance for relatives and prospective parents.

Counselling sessions translate complex results into practical advice that explains recurrence risk, surveillance needs, and reproductive options, including prenatal diagnosis or IVF with PGT. 
We also provide hereditary risk assessment in Sarjapur Road to clarify implications for wider family planning and cascade testing. Cascade testing is offered to at-risk family members with standardised letters, appointment coordination, and targeted panels to identify carriers quickly and efficiently. Turnaround times vary by test type, but rapid reporting can be arranged for time-sensitive reproductive decisions, so families receive prompt guidance. 

Psychosocial support and follow-up appointments are scheduled routinely, so parents have space to process results and plan ongoing surveillance or specialist referrals.
