Genetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in genes, chromosomes, or proteins. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person’s chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder.

Genetic testing has potential benefits whether the results are positive or negative for a gene mutation. Test results can provide a sense of relief from uncertainty and help people make informed decisions about managing their health care. For example, a negative result can eliminate the need for unnecessary checkups and screening tests in some cases. A positive result can direct a person toward available prevention, monitoring, and treatment options. Some test results can also help people make decisions about having children. Genetic screening can identify genetic disorders early in life so treatment can be started as early as possible.

There are several types of genetic testing available out there. At Enigma Genomics, we perform a medical-grade genetic analysis that involves looking at genes that are fundamental to your health and well-being. Enigma Genomics genetic testing analyzes your genes to find changes that can potentially lead to disease, for which preventive measures can be implemented.

At Enigma Genomics, we essentially believe that patients should fully control their health and wellbeing. As such, you can order genetic analysis directly through the Enigma Genomics website. Once the order has been placed, we will send you a kit that you can use to provide a DNA sample that we can use for the analysis. At the same time, our expert geneticists and genetic counselors will contact you to review your health conditions and the test your ordered. In 4-8 weeks’ time, you will receive a personalized report that you can share with your healthcare provider (if you wish).
