Genetic Conditions

Many of the people Clarity Genetics sees are seeking information about a specific condition, a possible diagnosis, or whether genetic factors may be contributing to what they are experiencing. These overview pages provide a short introduction to some of the conditions our practice sees most often, and an indication of how a clinical genetics assessment may help.

Genetics can play a role in a wide range of conditions, but only some of those benefit from a clinical genetics assessment. The condition overviews below explain what each condition involves at a high level, where a genetics assessment may add useful information, and where the next step usually lies. For more details on how appointments work and how to arrange one, the relevant service page is linked alongside each condition.

Looking for a specific service?

Many genetic questions fit naturally into one of our service areas, and the service pages explain what each appointment involves and how to arrange one. If you have a family history of cancer, are planning a pregnancy, are currently pregnant, have questions about a child’s development, or have been referred for cardiac or inherited heart conditions, the relevant service page is the right place to start.
