Beyond Direct-to-Consumer: Choosing the Right Genetic Testing for Marfan, LDS, VEDS, Stickler, and Related Conditions

Direct-to-consumer genetic testing can offer interesting insights into ancestry and common traits, but may fall short when it comes to identifying hereditary conditions like Marfan, VEDS, LDS, and Stickler.

During this webinar, Maya Brown-Zimmerman, MPH, MS, CGC, a cardio genetic counselor at Norton Children’s Hospital, will break down the key limitations of consumer genetic tests, including the possibility of inaccurate results and a lack of medical interpretation. Attendees will learn when clinical genetic testing is necessary, what comprehensive testing looks like, and how working with geneticists and genetic counselors can lead to an accurate interpretation of test results and appropriate follow-up care.
