Why Genetic Testing is so important...
In this short video, Dr Rudolf de Boer explains the importance of family screening for congenital and/or genetic heart disease. It is important to know if you may have a predisposition for cardiomyopathy that maybe runs in your family. And it doesn’t mean that you also will become ill or develop symptoms related to this heart disease.
The DOSIS Consortium investigates why one person in a family gets sick and another does not, so that family members can be treated properly on time.
