The Smith Family Clinic for Genomic Medicine, LLC., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. The clinic provides genetic counseling to patients with a disease diagnosis or family history of disease, diagnoses patients with undiagnosed or misdiagnosed diseases, and provides proactive health screenings for those interested in pharmacogenetic testing, carrier testing, or elective disease risk testing. Patients are seen by a clinical geneticist and/or genetic counselor who will evaluate symptoms and determine what genetic test is appropriate. The data from the genomic information is then interpreted to identify variants, or changes in the DNA, that may be linked to disease, drug interactions, family history of disease, or other implications.
Genetic diseases can be inherited, even though no one else in the family has the same symptoms. Also, sometimes genetic changes “just happen” in nature, and those changes can lead to genetic conditions.
At the Smith Family Clinic for Genomic Medicine, we offer whole genome sequencing, which reads a patient’s entire DNA. That information is analyzed to find genetic changes that may be causing a patient’s disease. Alternative genetic tests may also be offered to patients when our specialists suspect those tests may point to a definitive diagnosis.
Pediatricians, neurologists, immunologists, cardiologists, and other specialists are some of the physicians that have referred patients to the clinic.
