==Costs and time==

From the date that a sample is taken, results may take weeks to months, depending upon the complexity and extent of the tests being performed. Results for prenatal testing are usually available more quickly because time is an important consideration in making decisions about a pregnancy. Prior to the testing, the doctor or genetic counselor who is requesting a particular test can provide specific information about the cost and time frame associated with that test.<ref>{{cite web|work = Genetics Home Reference | location = Bethesda (MD) | publisher = National Library of Medicine (US) | title = What is the cost of genetic testing, and how long does it take to get the results?|url=https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/testing/costresults |date=November 15, 2016}}</ref>
