About This Service
The UT Austin Adult Genetics Clinic is a specialty clinic within Women’s Health, a clinical partnership between Ascension Seton and UT Health Austin.
The UT Austin Adult Genetics Clinic provides evaluation and support for adult patients (18 years and older) with a known or suspected genetic disorder, as well as those with a family history of a genetic condition. Our team also provides care for both male and female patients, including individuals currently pregnant or planning a pregnancy who may have inherited health concerns.
We work with you to perform a genetics-focused physical exam, order and interpret genetic testing, and provide counseling to guide future screening and treatment decisions. We also offer review and interpretation of genetic test results from other providers when results are complex or require additional explanation. For patients who were diagnosed with a genetic condition in childhood, we offer continued care as they transition to adult services.
The UT Austin Adult Genetics Clinic care team is comprised of board-certified clinical geneticists, including a maternal-fetal medicine and genetics specialist, as well as certified genetic counselors who are experienced in working with a wide range of hereditary conditions. We use the latest advancements in genetic technology and provide compassionate, personalized counseling to help you understand your health risks and options.
We also offer the full scope of Women’s Health services throughout Austin and the surrounding areas. Please visit here to learn more about our services and clinic locations.
