Booking a consult with a LifeLabs® genetic counsellor may be right for you if you are:

1. Generally healthy, but would like to learn more about your genetic risks to take preventative care
2. Concerned about a personal or a family history of a condition that may be genetic
3. Pregnant, have had difficulty getting pregnant or are considering pregnancy and would like to understand the risk of passing genetic disorders onto your children
4. Interested in learning more about genetic testing options for diseases
5. Paid for a non-LifeLabs® genetic test and need help understanding the results

In the public healthcare system, there are a variety of indications where an individual’s doctor may refer them to see a genetic counsellor. Your doctor can refer you to a genetic counsellor by finding a local clinic. The consults at LifeLabs® are not covered under provincial healthcare plans.
