Genetics Program

The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Genetics Program provides genetic counseling and testing to people who may be at risk for certain diseases due to a personal or family history of a genetic condition. A genetic counselor is a health professional with a graduate degree in medical genetics and counseling.

Personalized Consultations

Our genetic counselors provide personalized consultation regarding:

  • A person’s risk for genetic disease
  • How genes are linked to disease
  • How disease is inherited
  • Genetic testing
  • Options for early disease detection

As an academic medical center, Froedtert & the Medical College have the expertise to offer comprehensive testing, counseling and referrals to appropriate specialists and services. In certain cases, interested people may be able to participate in various genetic research trials throughout the country.
