Have you ever thought about genetic counselling, screening, or testing? Whether it be for a type of cancer or heart disease that runs in your family, prenatal counselling during pregnancy, or assessment of a childhood or adulthood onset genetic condition, patients and family members are often seeking answers to a long list of questions. We’ll be joined by professor, Dr. Holly Etchegary, clinical geneticist, Dr. Lesley Turner and others from the Provincial Medical Genetics Program for a healthy discussion about the process of undergoing genetic assessment, counselling and testing in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as the essential things people consider when making decisions about genetic testing.
