* In collaboration with the bioinformatics research team, (re)-analyze genetic test results using various databases such as ExAC/gnomAD, ClinVar, HGMD, and genetic scores, and collaborate with the neurogenetics team to determine further management and workup.
* Assist patients and families to understand genetic predisposition to disease, including options and limitations of prevention strategies, potential adverse effects of positive gene tests, and limitations of negative gene tests.
* Provide follow-up care, including arranging consultations with other specialists, completing consultation reports, obtaining outside medical records or specimens, working with a financial counselor to facilitate authorization for patients' insurance coverage for genetic testing, and communication with patients and family.
* Participate in educational initiatives of the Center for Neurogenetics, including mentorship and supervision to Genetic Counseling graduate students during their clinical rotations and development of educational materials, such as pamphlets or brochures, to provide information on neurogenetic disorders.
* Contribute to research on neurogenetic disorders, including curating genetic and clinical data, identifying genotype-phenotype correlations, and testing novel bioinformatic variant interpretation algorithms.
* Work alongside the Director of the Center for Neurogenetics to design, grow and manage the genetic counselling program.
