Extensive Genetic Counseling, Testing, and Follow-Up Diagnostics in Plymouth

Identify hereditary risks during routine health or pregnancy check-ups by scheduling a genetic counseling appointment in Plymouth. Our genetic tests and screenings provide deep insight into impending health conditions and help develop a tailored care plan. In case of positive test results, you’ll meet with a genetic counselor in Plymouth or a Maternal-Fetal Medicine partner. Following a complete review, our specialists may suggest additional procedures such as CVS or amniocentesis to give precise answers and shape treatment recommendations.

This non-invasive prenatal genetic screening in Plymouth assesses the fetal DNA from the mother’s blood to find any chromosomal variations like Down syndrome. Safe and low-risk, this test can be performed as early as 10 weeks. It gives accurate insights and helps clarify if more tests are needed. 

It could be possible that your baby has an extra or absent chromosome, like trisomy 18 or trisomy 21(Down syndrome). Our prenatal genetic screening in Plymouth and a few more diagnostic tests can detect Aneuploidy early. Post detection, Alamara’s genetic counselors in Plymouth help you comprehend test results, review possible care options, and make health decisions accordingly. 

Neural tube problems, like the spina bifida condition, can impact your child’s brain or spine development. For this prenatal genetic screening in Plymouth, you may need to get blood work and ultrasounds done in your second trimester. If a neural tube defect is detected, you may receive imaging, counseling, and delivery planning so that your baby has the right support immediately after birth. 

At times, structural variations in the baby’s organs and limbs, like the heart, face, or kidneys, can be found during mid-pregnancy ultrasounds. An early detection of these conditions allows it earlier to arrange coordinated of care during pregnancy and after delivery. Our genetic counseling services at Plymouth help prepare patients better for the treatment or specialized attention.

  • Prenatal Genetic Screening

Dr. Jacobs, Genetic Counselor Katie Douglass, Sonographer Andrea, and the nurse were all phenomenal to work with. Our diagnosis day was the toughest day of my life, but these women were so kind, compassionate, thorough, and made the day as smooth as it could have been.
