Huron Valley Genetic Consulting was founded in
2005 by Shannon DeWall, a certified genetic
counselor. HVGC’s mission is to make genetic
counseling available to everyone at affordable
prices. In addition to being affordable we
want you to be able to get an appointment
quickly and at a time that is convenient. All of
our genetic consultations are performed by phone
with a genetic counselor who is certified by the
American Board of Genetic Counseling. This means the counselor has a Master’s degree from an accredited university and has passed the board certification exam.
At HVGC we believe everyone could benefit from a genetic consultation. Here are some common reasons why people might seek a genetic consultation
· An individual with a family history of cancer who would like to know their risk.
· A couple who wants to start a family and would like to know their chance of having a child with a birth defect.
· A man or woman has a family history of a genetic disease and wants to have testing to determine if they are a carrier.
· A couple using a sperm or egg donor wants to know for which genetic diseases the donor should be screened.
· A man or woman experiencing infertility wonders if there might be a genetic cause.
