The examination of somatic genetic characteristics consists of searching for and analysing genetic characteristics whose inheritance or transmissibility is initially unknown. When the results of the examination of somatic genetic characteristics are likely to reveal characteristics referred to in Article L. 1130-1 or make it necessary to carry out examinations referred to in the same Article, the person is invited to attend a consultation with a doctor qualified in genetics for treatment under the conditions laid down in Chapter I of this Title. The person shall be informed of the possibility of such referral before an examination intended to analyse his somatic genetic characteristics and likely to reveal constitutional genetic characteristics is carried out.
