Preparing for Your Appointment
Preparing for Your Appointment
Prior to an appointment, patients are encouraged to gather their family history, especially if it’s related to a specific disorder you are being referred for.
This includes calling family members with known genetic disorders and getting copies of any of previous genetic testing.
Send all available copies to WVU Medicine Childrens Medical Genetics and Personalized Medicine Program in advance.
On the day of your appointment, you will meet with members of the team, including a genetic counselor, genetic nurse practitioner, or a medical geneticist. All records will be reviewed prior to an appointment to assure patients meet with the appropriate provider.
