What to Bring to Your Adult Genetics Clinic Appointment
Information about genetic conditions in you or your family should be brought to the appointment. You may wish to fax this information to us in advance. Our fax number is (720) 848-0469.
It is helpful if you review your family history with other relatives in your family so that you can share that information with the geneticist. In many cases using the Family History Checklist is helpful in collecting this family history information.
