Before the first visit
What is required for the first visit of a geneticist:
- application for genetic testing from the attending physician

- report of the illness or serious disease of another family member that you want to consult (bring a report from histological examination of the tumor for cancer when available and determine the types of cancer and age at diagnosis in relatives with tumors)
- report on genetic testing (if you have already been examined in another clinic for genetics)
- result of semen analysis of the male partner for consultation before conception (if it has already been carried out in another facility)

If you opt for invasive prenatal examination (biopsy of the placenta, amniocentesis or sampling of umbilical cord blood), it is necessary to have a person to accompany you or drive you home!
Partner:
