Genetic Counselor Putnam Earns Board Certification
Abbey Putnam, MS, Genetic Counselor, passed the American Board of Genetic Counseling certification examination and is now a Certified Genetic Counselor (CGC). Putnam has worked for the UT Genetics Center since August 2009, seeing pediatric and adult patients. She is one of two genetic counselors, with Amanda Noyes, CGC, at the Genetics Center. When a child is diagnosed with a genetic condition, Putnam and Noyes meet with the family to discuss the condition, the inheritance risk and recurrence risk, and provide support to the family. They also counsel adults regarding family histories of genetic conditions, cancer gene susceptibility, Huntington Disease presymptomatic testing, multiple miscarriages, hemochromatosis and thrombophilia.
