Tusk Genetics is a telehealth consultation company for patients. We connect patients with a skilled provider to discuss hereditary cancer risk testing, pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing, and/or polygenetic risk scores, with the goal of promoting better health outcomes and encouraging personalized medical care. After testing and consultations are complete, patients leave with a summary of their testing results to discuss with their primary provider, guided by their genetics.
