DNA Direct: Turning personalized genetics into personalized medicine

DNA Direct’s Personal Genome Consultation can help you turn personalized genetics into personalized medicine. We help you to identify the best testing for you based on your family and medical history. Our genetic experts can review with you the pros and cons of clinical testing that is part of medical guidelines and new tests that represent emerging research. The genome scans offered by 23andMe, deCODEMe and Navigenics are examples of new services that can provide you with a glimpse into your genetic makeup in a way never before available, and DNA Direct can help you determine if this is right for you.  If you have already had a test, we are here to help you understand your genome data  in context, by looking at test results in relation to your personal and family medical history, your lifestyle, your environment and other key factors that affect your health — to help you turn your risks into preventive and diagnostic actions.

Genetic Counseling Support for Genome Scans

We pair you with a board-certified genetic counselor to discuss your detailed personal and family history. Then we look at that in context with your genotype to talk about what this genetic information really means, to you, today.

If you have had or are considering a Personal Genome Service, DNA Direct can help you with:

• Consultation before testing: Is a genome scan right for you? What it can — and can’t — tell you, medical implications, and more.
• Consultation after testing: Now that you’ve got your results, what do they mean for you today? What next steps are appropriate for you?

Diagnostic Genetic Testing Services

Did you discover a genetic risk that ties into your family or personal history? Do you have signs and symptoms and a genetic concern? DNA Direct’s clinical genetic testing services can provide you with diagnostic testing and counseling, and resources for your healthcare providers.
