Genetic testing done through private health system
I have been advised that the genetic test results in the public system in Victoria are only available 4-6 weeks after the blood test. Any with experience on how this can be expedited? Also, any pointe...
No way to have genomic testing in the Victorian Public system expedited. This is because it actually takes 4 - 6 weeks for them to analyse data so they can tell you what mutations you have. It is a very labour intensive job and there are not a whole lot of people with expertise to do the analysis. I know this because I used to work in a lab that did molecular testing for blood cancers which was alongside of a laboratory that did molecular testing on solid tumours (at Peter Mac in Melbourne).
