Huntington’s disease is a serious genetic disorder that affects the brain and can have severe consequences. Genetic testing for Huntington’s disease is crucial for ensuring the health of your future children. At Dr. Mehmet Koç’s office, we offer advanced genetic testing services to screen for Huntington’s disease, 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.
