Do you have a personal or family history of cancer and wonder if it could be hereditary? At Suncoast Genetics, we specialize in hereditary cancer risk assessment and genetic counseling to help you understand how inherited factors may impact your health. Through reviewing your family’s cancer history, we aim to identify patterns that may suggest a genetic predisposition, and discuss whether genetic testing is right for you. By understanding your hereditary cancer risks, you can take proactive steps, such as enhanced screening, risk-reducing strategies, or personalized medical care, to protect yourself and your family. 

Are you interested in understanding your genetic risks for cancer, heart disease, or other inherited conditions before they arise? At Suncoast Genetics, we offer genetic counseling for individuals who are looking to take proactive measures for their health. Through a comprehensive review of your personal and family history, we can determine if genetic testing is right for you. Proactive screening empowers you with valuable insights to guide early detection, prevention, and personalized care strategies tailored to your unique genetic profile. Take a proactive approach to your health and give yourself the tools to make informed decisions for a healthier future.

Are you planning to grow your family and want to understand your genetic risks? We provide genetic counseling services to help you identify inherited conditions that could be passed on to your children. Through genetic testing, we can help assess whether you and your partner are carriers for the same conditions and provide guidance on your reproductive options. With this information, you can make informed decisions to ensure the best possible outcomes for your family. 

Have you or a family member tested positive for a genetic mutation? At Suncoast Genetics, we provide specialized counseling and support for individuals with known genetic mutations. We aim to help you understand what your results mean, assess the potential health risks for both you and your family, and develop a personalized plan for managing them. Whether it’s increased cancer screening, preventative measures, or tailored medical care, we work with you and your healthcare team to ensure you’re equipped with the tools and knowledge to protect your health. 

Have you received genetic test results showing a variant of uncertain significance (VUS)? These results can feel confusing and leave you with more questions than answers. At Suncoast Genetics, we specialize in helping individuals interpret VUS findings and understand their implications. While a VUS does not confirm increased health risks, it’s important to consult with a genetic counselor who can review your personal and family history, explain the variant in context, and discuss any necessary follow-up. Over time, more information about genetic variants becomes available, and re-evaluation of your results may provide additional clarity. Let us guide you in making sense of your results and planning your next steps.

Have you taken a direct-to-consumer genetic test (like 23andMe) and are unsure what the results mean for your health? We provide expert review and interpretation of your results to ensure you get the most accurate and meaningful insights. Direct-to-consumer tests can offer valuable information, but they often lack the depth and clinical context provided by medical-grade testing. Our genetic counselors will evaluate your results, consider your personal and family history, and help you determine if further testing or follow-up is needed. Understanding your genetic health is too important to leave to chance—let us help you turn your results into actionable knowledge.
