Advancing Healthcare in Fort Worth Through Genetic Medicine

Initiative One

Support for Children With Genetic Medical Conditions

As medical doctors specializing in genetics, we see children in Fort Worth with complex, genetically based medical conditions they will face throughout their lives. Many receive care through Cook Children’s or other local pediatric care teams, and when they age out of children’s hospital care, they need a supported transition into adult care. Our clinic is focused on helping Fort Worth families navigate that transition and continue receiving the coordinated care they need.

Initiative Two

Genetic Testing for Adults

Do you wonder what your genetic risk is for having a heart attack or a major disease such as diabetes, cancer, or dementia?

There is a test you can take to determine your "polygenic risk score," a number that estimates your genetic likelihood of developing a specific disease or trait by considering the combined effect of many small genetic variations across your genome. The score compares your genetic risk to others in the population by using data from large genetic studies that identify numerous genetic variants linked to the disease or trait in question.

Initiative Three

Consultations for Undiagnosed Disorders

Are you dealing with a medical issue no one can diagnose? Could it be genetic? We offer one-time consultations using our advanced genetic testing tools to get to the root of your issue. We’ll examine options your doctors might not have considered and share our insights.
