How long did your predictive Huntington’s test take from blood draw to result?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently going through predictive testing for Huntington’s in Zurich, Switzerland, and I wanted to ask others about their timeline.
My blood was drawn on April 21st, 2026. At first, my result appointment was scheduled for July 13th, but on May 6th I got a call from neurology saying the result was already available and that I could come in earlier. My new appointment is May 20th.
So in my case, the result was back roughly two weeks after the blood draw, even though the appointment was initially set much later.
A doctor in my personal circle, who is not familiar with Huntington’s specifically, wondered whether a faster result might suggest a negative result. I’m trying not to read too much into that, because I know lab timing, scheduling, internal processes, and counselling protocols can vary a lot.
For those of you who went through predictive testing:
How long did it take from blood draw until the result was available or until you received it?
Did the timing give any indication of the result in your case, or was it unrelated?
I’m especially interested in experiences from Europe/Switzerland, but any perspective would help.
Thank you very much.🤍
