DNA Direct: Turning personalized genetics into personalized medicine

The genome scans offered by 23andMe and deCODE Genetic are new services that provide you a glimpse into your genetic makeup in a way never before available. This new technology is exciting, and it is being offered for informational — not medical — purposes.

DNA Direct’s Personal Genome Services can help you turn personalized genetics into personalized medicine. We help you understand your genetic data in context, by looking at your genome scan or other genetic 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.
