A Genetic Counselor Can Help Huntington’s Disease Families

On my blog today, I’ll share information on how multidisciplinary care team members at Huntington’s Disease Clinics (HDSA Centers of Excellence) can help Huntington’s disease (HD) families in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Let’s talk about what a genetic counselor can offer your family: The  genetic counselor, Jamie Fong, at UCSF Huntington’s Disease Clinic has specialized training in the genetics of neurodegenerative disease, and has been counseling families and individuals at-risk for HD for many years. She is the lead in the HD predictive testing program, providing information, counseling and support to people at-risk for HD, but also is available to counsel those dealing with a new diagnosis or sharing the news with their families.
