Patient leaflets
Being referred to the Genetics Service
This leaflet explains about the importance of completing your genetics questionnaire.
Confirmed blood clot (Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism)
Information about the blood clot (venous thromboembolism) that you have developed.
Family history of Bowel Cancer
In the UK, bowel cancer is the third most common type of cancer and affects about one person in 20 (men and women) during their lifetime; however, most people who get bowel cancer develop it in later life.

FXS is the most common cause of inherited learning disability. It affects boys and girls and causes a wide range of problems with learning and behaviour, from mild to severe.
Genetic Testing
The condition you have may be due to a change in a gene (portion of inherited material). We are able to offer a test to look for changes in the genes associated with your condition. This leaflet has some further information about genetic testing.
Genetic testing for FAP
Information from the Yorkshire Regional Genetics Service about Genetic testing for FAP
Genetic testing for Inherited Cancer Conditions
Information from the Yorkshire Regional Genetics Service about Genetic testing for Inherited Cancer Conditions
Genetic testing for Lynch syndrome
Information on what is Lynch syndrome and the genetic testing process for this inherited condition.
Modified Carnoy’s solution in the treatment of Keratocystic odontogenic tumours
Information about Modified Carnoy’s solution.
Pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT)
Information from the Yorkshire Regional Genetics Service about Pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT)
Predictive genetic testing for gene changes predisposing to breast and other cancers
A gene change has been found to run in your family. These gene changes lead to an increased risk of breast cancer and sometimes, other cancers such as ovarian and prostate.
Predictive genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome
Information on what is Lynch syndrome and the predictive genetic testing process for this inherited condition.
X-linked Inheritance
Genes are the unique instructions which make each of us an individual. There are thousands of different genes, each carrying a different instruction. If a gene is altered (or ‘mutated’), it can cause a genetic condition or disease.
Yorkshire Regional Genetics Service Turner Syndrome
