We are Qualified Genetic Specialists & Correct Test Interpretation is our Expertise
At Genetics.ie, we offer a wide range of genetic testing services from our Blackrock clinic, and our expertise combines the appropriate marrying of clinical evaluation for genetic disorders with appropriate targeted genetic testing. One of our major strengths is in correct test interpretation. Genetic disorders can result from a mutation in a single gene (monogenic disorder) or the interaction and combination of genetic variants in several genes, which may impact upon one another (multifactorial inheritance disorder).
Why It's Important Genetic Tests Are Undertaken Through Genetic Clinics
The Genetics.ie team offers a variety of genetic testing services from our Blackrock clinic under the watchful eye of highly experienced Clinical Geneticist and founder Dr Willie Reardon. During his 35+ years at the world's leading hospitals, the single most common cause of medical error he’s seen is a lack of understanding of the link between gene testing, interpretation of results and recognition of disease causation.

Rare Diseases & the Role of a Clinical Geneticist
What is a rare disease? Officially speaking, a rare disease (RD) is one that affects fewer than five people out of every 10,000. When a rare disease is diagnosed, it can have a major impact on the individual and their extended family, and the majority of rare neurological diseases have an underlying genetic cause.
