Genetic Testing in the Craniofacial Clinic Made Simple

Explore the critical role of genetic testing in diagnosing and managing genetic syndromes associated with orofacial clefting, craniosynostosis, and other congenital anomalies. Case studies and discussion on the use of microarray and DNA sequencing will be featured, helping you understand the differences between these genetic testing methods. You’ll learn how to select the appropriate genetic tests, navigate the roles of geneticists and genetic counselors, and manage the logistical challenges of ordering genetic tests. Learners will be equipped to explain complex genetic concepts to patients and families, distinguish between the responsibilities of a geneticist and a genetic counselor, and implement strategies to facilitate timely and accurate genetic testing, thereby enhancing patient outcomes through early and effective genetic testing. Visit our website here for further informaiton.
