What is a Genetic Risk Panel?

A Genetic Risk Panel is a comprehensive blood or saliva test that analyzes your DNA for inherited mutations linked to common hereditary conditions. Key panels include hereditary cancer screening (e.g., BRCA1/2 for breast/ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome genes), cardiovascular gene panels for conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia, and pharmacogenomics to predict drug responses. Results help guide preventive care, early detection, and personalized treatment plans.
