Genetic diagnostics and counselling for children and families
Genetics doesn’t have to be complicated or scary.
You won’t have to worry about needles or going into hospital. Testing is done with a simple cheek swab at home, and I take time to explain what the results mean for you or for your child.
Who is it for? Children with a suspected rare disease.
- When a genetic condition is suspected, for example based on a paediatrician’s recommendation
- When previous blood tests were traumatic or unsuccessful
- When a full diagnostic assessment is wanted without a hospital stay
Who is it for? Adults.
In families with multiple affected relatives, for example those with a history of cancer, heart disease, FMF, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy or early-onset dementia
When leaving the house is not possible or desirable, but a thorough evaluation is still needed.

Epigenetic perspective
Experiences shape us, sometimes more deeply than we think. Epigenetics is the science of how life experiences and the environment can leave marks on the body. These marks are not found in the DNA sequence itself, but in how the DNA is packaged, read and regulated.
Sometimes, these molecular traces echo across generations.
At Moleküli, an epigenetic perspective is always part of our genetic counselling and interpretation.
