Initial assessment

Medical history, family history, laboratory review, imaging review, and examination.

Clinical review

Explanation of possible benefits, limitations, risks, family implications, and consent.

Before testing

Testing and interpretation

Gene panel, exome, genome, or copy-number analysis may be considered when appropriate.

Precision diagnosis

Family screening and follow-up

Long-term plan for the patient and relatives who may benefit from screening or counseling.

Ongoing care
Disease information

Patient-friendly education with physician-level credibility.

Use short pages first, then expand into bilingual handouts, videos, FAQs, and patient stories after approval.
