Our special consultation hours for adults
Genetische Beratung/Sprechstunde klinische Genetik
In der Sprechstunde für Klinische Genetik und Genetische Beratung werden angeborene Fehlbildungen und Entwicklungsstörungen unter fachärztlicher Leitung diagnostiziert und beurteilt sowie familiäre Risiken für genetisch bedingte Erkrankungen und Veranlagungen ermittelt.
Diese Sprechstunde ist ein fachärztliches Angebot für alle, die selbst eine angeborene Fehlbildung oder Entwicklungsstörung oder eine genetisch bedingte Erkrankung haben oder für sich oder ihre Nachkommen befürchten. Neben der klinischen Diagnose und Ursachenfindung von angeborenen Entwicklungsstörungen kann eine genetische Beratung helfen, Fragen in Zusammenhang mit einer eventuell erblich bedingten Erkrankung zu beantworten und dadurch bei der Entscheidungsfindung zu unterstützen.
