Predictive Testing Clinics

Predictive testing clinics perform the genetic test for HD and offer genetic counselling. Before testing, a genetic counsellor helps the individual explore reasons for taking the test, and prepare for receiving the results. After testing, counselling is geared to offering support and assistance in understanding the impact of either negative or positive test results, both on the individual and the rest of the family.
