At Inova genetics we see both children and adults. Our team includes experienced board-certified medical geneticists and certified genetic counselors. Our services include clinical evaluation of patients suspected of a genetic condition, genetic counseling, comprehensive genetic testing, family risk assessment and access to multidisciplinary care.
We provide ongoing care for patients diagnosed with genetic conditions, coordinate management, and identify resources related to the diagnosis.

For eligible patients, we help identify research opportunities, both locally and throughout the nation.
