Precision Health Clinic (PHC)

​Are you at risk of developing a health condition caused by a genetic variant?

Do you carry any genetic variants that could be passed on to your children?

Do you have genetic variants that effect how you will respond to medication?

We offer clinical whole genome sequencing and counselling to individuals who are interested in improving their current and future health.

What does "sequencing your genome" mean?

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) involves analysing DNA which is the genetic material inherited from our parents. Genes are made up of DNA and instruct how the body functions and what it looks like. Everyone contains different variations of these genes, some variants can be advantageous and some can cause harm to our health. In some cases, there is medical advice that can help prevent or reduce the severity caused by a gene variant affecting health risks.

What could I learn?

The type of genetic information that may be returned to you could include:

  • A diagnosis of a treatable genetic condition
  • An increased risk of developing a genetic condition
  • Information about how you may respond to medication
  • Information that you are a carrier of a genetic condition


Which genes will be analysed?

We analyse genes that have been scientifically shown to be associated with genetic conditions that can be managed with medical interventions.

Cancer

Cardiology

Cholesterol

Haematology

Neurology

Metabolic conditions

Respiratory conditions

 

Organ specific or multi-organ conditions such as kidney or liver

Response to medications (pharmacogenomics)


What will I receive?

  • A report that will highlight any genetic conditions that you carry or may be at risk of developing
  • Dosage recommendations for prescription drugs
  • Personalised information and support from our genetics specialists
  • Your WGS data presented on a flashdrive for future use and in picture format
  • Reanalysis as new genomic information becomes relevant to your health
  • (additional charges may apply)
