What do Medical Geneticists do?
Medical geneticists specialize in the study of genes and their impact on health. They diagnose, treat, and counsel patients with genetic disorders.
What they do
Diagnosis: Identify genetic disorders through physical exams, family history, and genetic testing.
Treatment: Develop treatment plans based on the patient’s specific genetic condition, which may include medication, surgery, or genetic counseling.
Counseling: Provide support and guidance to patients and families about the implications of their genetic condition, such as inheritance patterns, risks, and management options.
Research: Conduct research to advance the understanding of genetic disorders, develop new treatments, and improve patient care.
Areas of Expertise
Chromosomal disorders, Metabolic disorders, Birth defects, Cancer genetics, Neurogenetic disorders, and Developmental disorders.
Education and Training
Medical geneticists typically have a medical degree (M.D.) and complete a residency in medical genetics. They may also obtain a board certification from the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics.
Environment
Medical geneticists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, research institutions, and universities.
They may collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians, oncologists, and genetic counselors.
A molecular genetic pathologist provides information about gene structure, function, and alteration, and applies laboratory techniques for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for individuals with related disorders.
