Advanced Genetic Testing for Marfan Syndrome at Dr. Mehmet Koç’s office
Marfan Syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting the body’s connective tissue, leading to abnormalities in the heart, blood vessels, eyes, bones, and joints. Early detection through genetic testing can guide medical management and inform family planning decisions. At Dr. Mehmet Koç’s office, we offer advanced genetic testing services to screen for Marfan Syndrome, helping you make informed decisions about your family planning.
How Testing Works
- Consultation: We review your medical and family history, and your plans for a family.
- Counseling: We explain the test, what the results can and cannot show, and your options.
- Testing: A blood or saliva sample is sent for laboratory analysis.
- Results: We go through your results with you and discuss the next steps.
If you are having IVF, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) can check embryos for certain inherited conditions before transfer. Testing has limits, and we will explain them during your consultation.
