UNC Adult Genetics Clinic
We are currently scheduling some virtual appointments and some in-person outpatient appointments. Each referral received will be reviewed for the appropriate appointment type and we will be in contact regarding scheduling. We currently have long wait times for clinical appointments due to backlog related to COVID19. If a referral is urgent, please call our team to discuss alternative genetic counseling options. Thank you for your patience during this time.
We specialize in evaluating adults who are suspected to have a genetic condition or who have family members with a known or suspected genetic condition.
Our clinical practice includes evaluations for a variety of conditions, including:
- Connective tissue disorders, such as Marfan syndrome
- Hereditary neurological conditions, such as Huntington disease, ataxia, or Alzheimer disease
- Neuromuscular disorders, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy or hereditary neuropathy
- Suspected mitochondrial disorders and/or metabolic disorders
- Intellectual disability and/or autism syndromes, such as Fragile X syndrome
- Conditions involving differences in physical features, sometimes known as dysmorphic features or congenital anomalies (birth defects)
- Inherited heart conditions, such as long QT syndrome or cardiomyopathy
