Meet our Pancreatic Diseases and Genetic Testing Specialists

The Heritable Pancreatic Disease Genetic Testing Service is a collaboration between the Molecular Genetics Laboratory and Maisam Abu-El-Haija, MD, medical director of the Pancreas Care Center and pediatric gastroenterologist. This partnership allows for optimum care of your patients.

We are staffed by a team of experts who provide guidance in:

• Test selection
• Clinical interpretation
• Medical management and follow-up testing
• Recommendations for genetic counseling
• Coordination of studies for at-risk family members
• Billing and reimbursement

Clinical interpretations are written in conjunction with our nationally recognized pediatric gastroenterologist, board-certified molecular and medical geneticists and genetic counselors. Each report is customized for your patient and includes a detailed interpretation of the genetic findings, the clinical significance of the results and the specific recommendations for clinical management and additional testing, if warranted. These specialists are also available to you for pretest or additional post-test consultation.
