Neurocognitive Testing
Genetic Testing
Clarity for your cognitive future.
Facing the possibility of a neurodegenerative condition is never easy, but knowledge is power. Your DNA holds the story of your physical traits and health risks, including predispositions to conditions that affect memory and brain function. Just as physical traits are passed down through families, genetic mutations linked to neurocognitive decline can be inherited too.
If your family has a history of dementia or other neurodegenerative disorders, genetic testing can provide a roadmap for your future. Whether you talk to your healthcare provider first or consult directly with a Blue Swan Specialty Labs genetic counselor, we are here to help you decide if this testing is the right step for you.
Neurocognitive test results
Our genetic neurocognitive testing analyzes your DNA for specific mutations associated with increased risk for:
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Huntington’s disease
- Epilepsy
- Prion diseases
- Dementia
Evaluation Services
Beyond genetics, Blue Swan Specialty Labs provides neurocognitive evaluations to benchmark your current brain function against age-matched peers or your own past results. This is critical for assessing the impact of:
- Dementia progression
- Stroke recovery
- Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- ADHD
Note: While a positive genetic result does not guarantee you will develop a condition, it offers invaluable insight into your risk profile, allowing you and your doctor to take proactive steps in your wellness plan.
What to expect from genetic neurocognitive testing
We have streamlined the process to be as non-invasive as possible. Your provider orders the kit, and you simply provide a saliva swab in the privacy of your home.
Once you return the kit to one of our designated centers, our qualified physicians oversee the analysis using state-of-the-art automated equipment. You won’t be left waiting for months; we dispatch a detailed report to your healthcare provider within 1–2 weeks. Most importantly, you are never alone with your results. Blue Swan’s genetic counselors are on hand to walk you through the findings and discuss what they mean for you and your family.
