The Role of Genetics
You've filled out the forms before: You go to the doctor, and you're asked to check boxes about the health issues of your parents and grandparents.
There's a reason for that. Family health history plays a key role in your overall health and well-being. So if you have a serious health issue in your family, consider visiting a genetic counselor at one of our clinics:
- Pediatric Genetics Clinic
- Cardiovascular Genetics Clinic located at the Heart & Vascular Center.
- Genetic counseling at UVA Cancer Center
