Testing for common recessive conditions (AATD, CF, haemochromatosis) can be arranged directly from primary care as a routine blood test, without the need for a referral or appointment in clinical genetics (see section on sending a sample for genetic testing).
In this section, there is further information about these conditions, as well as other common presentations, which don’t always require a clinical genetics referral.
