Genetic testing brochure from NCI.
The National Cancer Institute is offering an eight-page brochure,
"Genetic Testing: What It Means for Your Health and for Your
Family's Health." It explains what genetic tests are, lists
the different types, tells how they are done, and gives examples of
diseases linked to genetic changes that can be detected by these tests.
The brochure also provides questions for patients to ask their
doctor about the tests. To order free copies, visit
