Hello, My Son Has 1 Mutated Gene And We Have
Question: Hello, my son has 1 mutated gene and we have been instructed by hematologist ( please see attached info.) that he should be under care of genetic specialist.Do you agree?
Brief Answer:
I can not access the genetic report, kindly make sure you have uploaded the right image
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service,
I carefully read your query and also checked the uploaded report.
Unfortunately, I am not able to see any medical report uploaded or that states the genetic mutation your son has. Kindly check again the image you uploaded and please make sure you upload the report of the genetic test so I can further assist you.
A genetic specialist is the one that has the most information and knowledge on genetic diseases so I understand why the hematologist recommends that your son is under the care of the genetic specialist. In some cases, a team of doctors is needed to coordinate their efforts while caring for the patient.
To better understand which is the best for your son, it would be very helpful if I can have the full report of the genetic test.
I hope to hear from you soon with the full report on your son's genetic test, which also indicates the mutation.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

Dr. Antoneta Zotaj

I did choose genetic doctor. Can you please direct my inquiry to one please. I sent a email with a copy of what blood doctor said & there is not really much more information to give outside of that.
I can email it again for genetic Dr.
We have a family doctor so are not in need of that. Thank you
