Genetic testing
When genetic testing is indicated, Dr. Paul will order the test and a DNA saliva or buccal collection kit will be shipped to you. After collection, you will be able to mail the kit with your sample back to the genetics laboratory in a prepaid package. In special circumstances or when additional metabolic genetic studies are indicated, we will use instead a dried blood spot on a special newborn screening paper which is easier to ship in an envelope.
Dr. Paul will contact you to discuss the results and coordinate the next steps in your care. Most of the time, a follow-up visit is offered.
Your Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) test is once in a lifetime. DNA blueprint does not change. Dr. Paul will re-analyze the commercial laboratory data with the initial genome sequencing. We can reanalyze your genome data file every 6-12 months or when indicated.
Genetic tests are self-pay at ordering in addition to the consultation cost.
