What is a geneticist?
A geneticist is a doctor who specializes in medical genetics. Medical genetics doctors study genes and how they affect health. They help diagnose and treat conditions caused by changes in a person’s genes. They work with people who have genetic disorders or inherited diseases and research ways to prevent or treat these conditions. Medical genetics specialists are trained to understand how genes play a role in health and disease. They work in hospitals, clinics, or research labs, and may focus on specific areas like cancer genetics or prenatal genetics.
What is the difference between a genetic counselor and a medical geneticist?
A genetic counselor helps people understand how their genes may affect their health. They often explain the risks of genetic conditions and help families make decisions about genetic testing. A medical geneticist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats genetic disorders. While both professionals work with genetics, their roles are different. Genetic counselors provide support and information, while medical geneticists focus more on diagnosing and treating genetic disorders.
There are several types of medical geneticists:
- Clinical geneticists work directly with patients to diagnose and manage genetic conditions.
- Molecular geneticists study genes at a molecular level, often in a lab setting.
- Biochemical geneticists focus on metabolic disorders caused by changes in genes.
- Cancer Geneticist: Specializes in genes related to cancer and helps patients understand their risk.
What is the difference between clinical genetics and medical genetics?
Medical genetics is the broader field that studies how genes affect health. Clinical genetics is a branch of medical genetics that focuses on diagnosing and treating people with genetic disorders. A clinical geneticist works directly with patients to find out if their symptoms are caused by genetic conditions and help them manage their health. Medical genetics includes research and lab work, while clinical genetics focuses on patient care, working closely with individuals and families affected by genetic conditions.
What tests does a geneticist perform?
A geneticist may perform a variety of tests to help diagnose genetic conditions. The specific tests will depend on your symptoms and family history. Common tests include:
- Blood tests: Used to analyze DNA or chromosomes for changes.
- DNA sequencing: Looks at the exact order of your genetic code to detect mutations.
- Chromosomal analysis (karyotyping): Examines the structure and number of chromosomes to find abnormalities.
- Biochemical tests: Checks for abnormal levels of proteins or enzymes that may indicate a genetic disorder.
- Prenatal genetic testing: Looks for genetic conditions in an unborn baby, often using amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
At your first appointment, expect the geneticist to ask detailed questions about your medical history and your family’s health history. They may perform a physical exam to look for any physical signs of a genetic condition. You’ll also discuss possible testing options and what they can reveal. The geneticist may explain the testing process, the potential results, and what steps you may need to take based on the findings. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and learn how genetic testing might affect your treatment plan or family planning decisions.

Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Geneticist?

Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.
