Inova's expert cancer genetic counselors are part of Inova Schar Cancer Institute. As the largest cancer genetics program in the region, we also provide mentorship and training for medical genetics fellows, genetic counseling graduate students and surgical residents. We are also collaborating with Georgetown Hospital on the Parent Communication Study IV: Improving Genetic Counseling for BRCA+ Mothers.

What Is Cancer Genetic Counseling? Most cancers are not inherited. However, for some people, the risk for developing certain kinds of cancer does run in their family. At Inova, cancer genetic counseling is provided by board-certified genetic counselors that specialize in cancer risk assessment and the latest genetic testing technologies.

This clinic is designed for patients with a known or suspected genetic cause, especially when early-onset, atypical or strongly present in family history. Evaluation includes: Medical Geneticist Genetic Counselor Genetic Testing Conditions We Treat Patients who may benefit from the Adult Neurogenetics Clinic are have conditions with a known or suspected genetic cause, especially when early-onset, atypical or strongly present in the family history.

The genetics team at Inova is composed of a medical geneticist and certified genetic counselors. We see children and adults with inherited genetic disorders, birth defects or suspected genetic syndromes. We are available to see patients staying at Inova Fairfax Hospital, or in one of our outpatient clinics, or at a Pediatric Specialists of Virginia office.
