Are you a good candidate for genetic testing?
Who genetic testing works best for, when doctors advise against it, and what an honest pre-assessment should cover.
Who it works best for
Genetic testing is most useful with a clear question: recurrent miscarriage, a family history of inherited disease, repeated IVF failure or advanced maternal age. Population-style screening without a question produces anxiety more often than answers.
When to hold off
Unmanaged chronic conditions, unrealistic expectations and active infections are the usual reasons a responsible surgeon defers treatment. A clinic that never says no is a warning sign — GetClinic clinics review your photos and history before any commitment.
