Genetic consultation for other reasons

Genetics

A doctor may recommend genetic testing in many other cases. At our clinics, we are available for consultations and examinations for both children and adults when various diseases are suspected, including congenital, hereditary, and rare conditions.

For adults and children, examinations are conducted for:

differential diagnosis of neurological (e.g., muscle diseases) and cardiovascular diseases (e.g., cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias)
suspected hereditary metabolic disorders, skeletal dysplasias, connective tissue diseases
occurrence of congenital developmental defects (heart, cleft lip and palate, genitalia, etc.)
delayed psychomotor development, disorders of mental and physical development
suspected rare diseases (e.g., hereditary metabolic diseases, various syndromes)
growth disorders and onset of puberty
vision and hearing disorders, and others

Consultation Options and Process

During a genetic consultation, we thoroughly evaluate your personal and family medical history. We approach each patient individually – based on the consultation, we recommend appropriate genetic tests. Our care also includes long-term patient monitoring (so-called dispensarization), through which we can ensure comprehensive and professional healthcare not only for them but also for their relatives. If you wish to consult or re-evaluate an already established diagnosis or procedure, we also offer the option of a second opinion in the form of a consultation – a so-called second opinion.
