Providing medical genetics assessment, genetic counselling, genetic testing, and support to individuals, couples, and families
Many different health conditions can be caused by changes in our genes. For many people, finding and understanding these genetic changes provides an answer to their health problems and can help prevent and treat current or future health problems.
—>Genetics is the study and understanding of a whole person, not just a laboratory report or a genetic variant.
At First Light Genetics, our approach is shaped by years of medical practice across paediatrics, cancer and subspeciality medicine, allowing us to see the human navigating the system and their health behind the DNA and the data.
The foundation of the service is the integration of diagnostic assessments, medical expertise, genetic counselling, and science, with a profound respect for your life story. We recognise that genetic results are not a static data point; it is a chapter in a lifelong journey and engagement with your healthcare.
