Genetic Screening and Pregnancy
It is important to note that there is a difference between genetic screening and genetic testing. Genetic screening is carried out to determine whether a person is at risk of suffering from a particular condition, while genetic testing is done to determine whether the condition is present or not. A good example is when you have genetic screening done to check for a particular gene that causes a particular condition. If the gene is present, genetic testing is done to check whether you have the condition or not.

About Me

Checking for skin cancers

Like most Aussies, I spent a lot of my time outside when I was young. We weren't as smart about sun protection then and every year I ended up with some terrible sunburns. That's all coming back to bite me now as I'm not that old but am already getting skin cancers burnt off regularly. I head in for a full body scan every 6 months at the skin cancer clinic and they let the doctors know which to burn off. It's not that much fun, but it's very important which is why I'm sharing information about skin cancer check-ups on this blog.
