Genetic Counseling for Hereditary Cancer A Genetic Counselor will meet with you to carefully review your personal and family cancer history, the basics of hereditary cancer and discuss your personal risks. If genetic testing is appropriate, the genetic counselor will discuss the benefits, risks and limitations of testing to help you decide whether this testing is right for you. Personalized Medicine Clinic A multidisciplinary team specializing in the genetics of drug response to help clinicians and patients better manage medications for non-cancer conditions and help predict future pharmacotherapy. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic Fullerton Genetics offers diagnostic services for children experiencing challenges related to known or suspected prenatal alcohol exposure. After initial evaluation by our genetics team, the patient may be referred to a psychologist, occupational therapist, speech language pathologist, and clinical social worker as needed. The team has been trained to evaluate children with known or suspected prenatal exposure and understand how this exposure may be impacting the child’s health, learning, and behavior. Telemedicine Services and Locations Mission’s Fullerton Genetics Center is now providing telehealth consultations at Angel Medical Center in Franklin so that patients do not have to drive to Asheville to receive genetic counseling, evaluation, and testing. Patients from the Franklin region will be scheduled at Angel Medical Center to meet with the genetic providers by video, and then complete genetic testing if indicated all in one visit! Services are provided for all ages from newborn to adult for patients with a known or suspected genetic disorder, birth defect, intellectual disability, dysmorphic features, an increased risk for similar problems in pregnancy or by birth, and drug metabolism concerns.
