Neurogenetics

Our Neurogenetics Consultation Services are available to patients with a diagnosed neurological condition, who have been referred by their neurologist or healthcare provider for evaluation of a suspected genetic cause.

Our Services

  • Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation by a neurologist with expertise in the relevant sub-specialty of neurology and genetics.
  • Genetic counseling by a board-certified genetic counselor
  • Genetic testing, either through a commercial laboratory, a research protocol, or in many cases, both

How Can a Neurogenetics Consultation Help?

Identification of a genetic etiology may benefit patients in the following ways:

  • Allows for targeted treatment and/or improved medical management
  • Allows for appropriate genetic counseling for the patient and their family. In some cases, this may allow for screening and management of at-risk family members
  • Avoids unnecessary diagnostic testing. Ends the “diagnostic odyssey” that patients with undiagnosed conditions often face
  • Allows for enrollment into gene-specific clinical trials and research trials
