Clinical Genetics
Clinical Genetics provides a service for individuals or families who have,
or are at risk of having a genetic disorder. Some people attend the clinic
for a diagnosis, others come with a diagnosis for information about the
condition and how likely it is to affect other family members.
For a certain genetic conditions there are tests, some of which are
available during pregnancy, and you may wish to discuss what tests are
available.
Sometimes a paediatrician may suggest an appointment for your child,
to obtain a further opinion or to try to clarify a complicated situation.
Some genetic conditions need specialist care and management, and
this may involve further appointments with other specialists.
