The genetics team provides evaluation, diagnosis, genetic counseling, management, and treatment for children and adults with known or suspected genetic and metabolic conditions. Our team, led by Dr. Elizabeth Roeder, consists of highly experienced clinical and biochemical geneticists, genetic counselors, genetic nurse practitioner, metabolic dietitian, social worker, and genomic associates.
Genetics participates in the Cancer Genetics, Craniofacial Anomalies, Craniosynostosis, Neuromuscular Disorders, hearing loss, and Prader-Willi multidisciplinary clinics offered at CHRISTUS Children’s in San Antonio.
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is usually diagnosed with a physical examination, chromosome testing, and genetic testing. Treatment typically involves a combination of medical, educational, social services, and nutritional management.
