Trust our expert team for personalized, preventive care through cutting-edge women’s genetic testing services.
Hereditary Cancer Screening
Hereditary Cancer Screening at Pink Medical NY uses cutting-edge genetic analysis to identify inherited mutations that may increase your cancer risk. Approximately 5-10% of all cancers are hereditary, passed from generation to generation. Our comprehensive testing goes beyond basic screening to provide you with actionable insights about your genetic predisposition to various cancers.
Our testing panels include:
BRCA1/BRCA2
Testing
The gold standard for identifying hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. Mutations in these genes can increase lifetime breast cancer risk up to 70% and ovarian cancer risk up to 44%. Early detection through our testing allows for proactive screening and preventive options.
Expanded Panel
Testing
Comprehensive analysis of 30+ genes associated with increased cancer risk, providing a more complete picture of your genetic cancer risk profile.
Lynch Syndrome Evaluation
Assessment for this inherited condition that increases risk of colorectal, endometrial, and other cancers, often before age 50.
Pancreatic Cancer Predisposition Testing
Specialized screening for genetic mutations linked to increased pancreatic cancer risk, particularly important for those with family history.
Our genetic counselors work alongside our advanced breast imaging specialists to provide integrated care and personalized risk assessment. By combining genetic insights with our no-compression 3D breast imaging, we offer unparalleled early detection capabilities.
Cardiovascular Genetic Assessment
Our Cardiovascular Genetic Assessment uses advanced DNA analysis to identify inherited heart conditions before symptoms appear, potentially preventing life-threatening cardiac events. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and genetic factors play a significant role in cardiovascular health.
Our comprehensive cardiovascular genetic testing includes:
Familial Hypercholesterolemia Screening
Detection of genetic mutations that cause dangerously high cholesterol levels resistant to lifestyle changes alone. Early identification allows for specialized treatment that can reduce heart attack risk by up to 80%.
Inherited Cardiomyopathy and Arrhythmia Evaluation
Testing for genetic variants associated with structural and electrical heart abnormalities that can lead to heart failure or sudden cardiac arrest.
Stroke and Thrombosis Risk Assessment
Identification of genetic factors that increase blood clot formation risk and stroke susceptibility, enabling preventive strategies and medication adjustments.
Our cardiovascular genetic testing complements our vascular ultrasound services, providing a comprehensive approach to heart health. Understanding your genetic risk factors allows for personalized prevention strategies, potentially decades before conventional screening would detect problems.
Reproductive Health Markers
Our Reproductive Health Genetic Testing provides crucial information for family planning, helping identify potential genetic risks before conception. Approximately 1 in 30 couples carries genetic variants that could affect their children's health.
Our reproductive genetic services include:
Carrier Screening for Recessive Conditions
Comprehensive testing for 300+ inherited conditions including cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, and Tay-Sachs disease. When both parents carry the same recessive gene mutation, there's a 25% chance their child will develop the condition.
Preconception Genetic Counseling
Expert guidance to help interpret genetic test results and understand reproductive options based on your unique genetic profile.
Fertility-Related Genetic Factors Assessment
Evaluation of genetic variations that may impact fertility, including factors affecting ovarian function and implantation success.
Our reproductive genetic testing works in harmony with our comprehensive pelvic and reproductive ultrasound services, providing complete care from preconception through pregnancy. Testing before pregnancy allows for informed decisions and preparation, while testing during pregnancy can guide appropriate prenatal care.
Pharmacogenetic Testing
Our Pharmacogenetic Testing analyzes how your unique genetic makeup affects your response to medications, helping prevent adverse reactions and treatment failures. Studies show that genetic factors influence response to 95% of commonly prescribed medications.
Our personalized pharmacogenetic services include:
Medication Response Profiling
Analysis of genes that affect how your body processes and responds to medications, including antidepressants, pain medications, blood thinners, and cardiovascular drugs.
Personalized Treatment Optimization
Evidence-based medication recommendations tailored to your genetic profile, potentially eliminating weeks or months of trial-and-error prescribing.
Adverse Reaction Risk Assessment
Identification of genetic variants associated with medication side effects or dangerous drug reactions, allowing for safer prescription choices.
Our cardiovascular genetic testing complements our vascular ultrasound services, providing a comprehensive approach to heart health. Understanding your genetic risk factors allows for personalized prevention strategies, potentially decades before conventional screening would detect problems.
Preventive Genomic Screening
Our Preventive Genomic Screening provides proactive health insights by identifying genetic risk factors before disease onset, allowing for personalized prevention strategies. This advanced approach to preventive medicine analyzes hundreds of genetic markers associated with common and rare diseases.
Our comprehensive preventive screening includes:
Actionable Genetic
Variants
Focus on genetic findings that can lead to concrete preventive actions, whether through enhanced screening, lifestyle modifications, or preventive medications.
Personalized Prevention
Planning
Development of customized health plans based on your genetic profile, family history, and current health status to mitigate identified risks.
Pancreatic Cancer Predisposition Testing
Specialized screening for genetic mutations linked to increased pancreatic cancer risk, particularly important for those with family history.
Unlike reactive medicine that treats diseases after symptoms appear, our preventive genomic approach enables you to take control of your health destiny. By identifying potential health risks decades before traditional screening, we provide time for intervention that may prevent disease development or ensure early detection when treatment is most effective.
Our genetic counselors work closely with specialists across multiple disciplines to ensure comprehensive care based on your unique genetic insights, creating truly personalized medicine.
