Criterios de derivación a genética clínica desde Atención Primaria. Documento de consenso / Referral criteria to clinical genetics from primary care: Consensus document

Introducción: La Atención Primaria (AP) es el primer contacto entre el paciente y el médico, por lo que es fundamental tener claro los criterios de sospecha de una enfermedad genética y dónde se debe remitir para su estudio. Material y métodos: Cuatro sociedades científicas: la Sociedad Española de Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria (semFYC), la Asociación Española de Genética Humana (AEGH), la Asociación Española de Pediatría (AEP) y la Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica (SEOM), han revisado los criterios de derivación a los servicios de genética clínica de las diferentes guías publicadas, con el objetivo de elaborar unas recomendaciones para AP. Conclusiones: Con este Documento de Consenso el médico de familia y el pediatra de AP conocerán cuándo, cómo y dónde derivar a sus pacientes con patología hereditaria y/o genética a los servicios de genética clínica.(AU)
