At-home genetic tests do not require a health care professional to be involved. As a result, they do not offer a wide range of tests. You might not be able to get detailed testing for health risks like cancer. Usually, you place an order online directly with the testing company, then they mail you a saliva testing kit.

Medical geneticists are medical doctors with specialized training in medical genetics. Medical geneticists evaluate, diagnose, and treat individuals and families with various genetic indications and/or specific genetic conditions.

Clinical genetic tests are ordered by your doctor for a specific medical reason. DTC tests are usually purchased by healthy individuals who are interested in learning more about traits like ancestry, responses to medications, or risk for developing certain complex conditions.

Genetic testing is sometimes available at no cost through research studies such as the ALLFTD study, and through sponsored testing programs. These programs often have specific benefits (including being no cost) but also have unique limitations and risks that may influence your decision to use them.

You can order online using our secure portal, Nucleus, or send us a requisition form by mail. If you're not sure whether Blueprint Genetics has an appropriate test for your patient, or if you are unsure about the most appropriate test, please review the diagnostic panels in the Testing section of our website.

The process of educating a person about the test and obtaining permission is called informed consent. Individuals interested in direct-to-consumer genetic testing do not need to go through a health care provider to obtain a test, but they can get it directly from the testing company.

A prescription from your doctor is required for any genetic test. Our genetic counsellor can talk to your doctor to establish a collaborative approach. Your genetic counsellor will share with you the test results and medical recommendations during a telephone or video conference meeting.
