Genetic Testing

Genetic testing at Moses Medical Center brings the power of genomic medicine into your routine care. Our providers offer pharmacogenomic testing, which analyzes how your genetic makeup affects your response to medications, helping us select the right drug at the right dose the first time. This is particularly valuable for patients taking medications for depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, or pain management, where genetic variations can mean the difference between an effective treatment and weeks of trial and error.

Beyond pharmacogenomics, we provide hereditary cancer risk assessments for patients with a family history of breast, ovarian, colorectal, or other cancers. Identifying a genetic predisposition early empowers you and your care team to implement enhanced screening protocols and risk-reduction strategies. We also offer carrier screening for individuals and couples planning a family, which can identify whether you carry genes for conditions such as sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, or Tay-Sachs disease before they are passed to the next generation.

Our team guides you through every step of the process, from pre-test counseling that explains what the test can and cannot tell you, to a thorough review of results and their implications for your care. We partner with certified reference laboratories to ensure the accuracy and reliability of every result. Genetic testing is a rapidly evolving field, and Moses Medical Center is committed to making these advances accessible to the communities we serve.
