Genetic testing for ATTR amyloidosis

Dr Carol Whelan explains the process of genetic testing for amyloidosis that is available to family members of a diagnosed adult as guided by the genetic counselling offered to such families. She emphasises the importance of individual choice: each family member has the right to decide whether they want to have the genetic testing or not.

 

Dr Carol Whelan holds the position of Consultant at the National Amyloidosis Centre. Having worked with the hATTR community for years, her videos here explain a bit more about the symptoms, care, and the potential hereditary nature of this condition.
