Clinical genetics teams can support you and your patients when ordering and interpreting genomics tests. In some Trusts, genomic testing is provided by East Genomics but you will be working with clinical genetics services (CGS) from other regions.
About clinical genetics
CGSs are highly-skilled multidisciplinary teams of doctors, genetic counsellors and clinical scientists that provide individuals and families with:
- Clinical and laboratory diagnosis of genetic disorders
- Risk assessment and genetic counselling for patients who have a family history of an inherited disorder or a family cancer syndrome
- Predictive genetic testing including prenatal diagnosis for some genetic disorders.
