For Patients & Families
Genetic and molecular testing can provide answers that guide important medical decisions. This page explains what Advanced Consensus does, how testing works, and what to expect — in plain language.
Testing is always physician-guided
Advanced Consensus does not offer direct-to-consumer testing. All genetic testing must be ordered by a qualified physician or healthcare institution. This protects you — ensuring results are interpreted correctly and used responsibly in your care.
Common pathways
Expecting parents
If your doctor has recommended NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing), a blood sample is taken from the mother and sent to a reference laboratory. Results are typically available within 10–12 days and are reviewed with your obstetrician.

If you or a close family member has been diagnosed with cancer at a young age, or if multiple relatives have had certain cancer types, your physician may recommend hereditary cancer genetic testing to assess inherited risk.

If you or your child has a complex medical picture without a confirmed diagnosis, your specialist may recommend whole exome or genome sequencing to search for an underlying genetic explanation.

Can I order genetic testing directly without a doctor?
No. Testing through Advanced Consensus is available only through a licensed physician or healthcare institution. Your doctor will help identify the appropriate test, discuss what the results may or may not tell you, and support you through the process.
How is my sample collected?
Most tests require a blood draw (EDTA tube), which is done at your physician's clinic or a collection centre. Some prenatal tests use a specific collection tube (Streck cfDNA tube). Your physician will provide instructions before the appointment.
How long does testing take?
Turnaround times vary by test. Prenatal screening typically takes 10–12 days. Exome and genome sequencing takes approximately 30–65 days. Your physician will set appropriate expectations when ordering.
Who interprets the results?
The reference laboratory produces a technical report. Advanced Consensus helps frame findings in clinical context and communicates with the ordering physician. Your physician then discusses the results with you and explains their implications.
Is my genetic information kept private?
Yes. Advanced Consensus does not collect or store patient health data on its website. Clinical data is handled through approved laboratory and clinical channels. See our Privacy Policy for details.
What if the test does not give a clear answer?
Some tests return a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) or an inconclusive result. This is a normal part of genetic testing. Your physician or a genetic counsellor will help explain what this means for your specific situation.
