Dr. Julie Won Ireland is a Medical Geneticist at West O‘ahu Medical Genetics, which serves children and adults with medical conditions secondary to hereditary or genetic causes. While primarily serving the West Side of O‘ahu, her patients come from all over the State of Hawai‘i. Some of the medical conditions diagnosed and treated include: thalassemia, G6PD deficiency, neurofibromatosis, hearing loss, developmental delay, seizures, cardiomyopathy and connective tissue disorders.
Patients with certain types of cancer, or with an increased risk of developing cancer, are also seen at her clinic. Up to 10% of cancer cases are inherited. Individuals with a genetic predisposition will have a far higher chance of developing cancer within their lifetime and at an earlier age. Genetic testing can help determine whether a family has a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome, and Dr. Ireland can coordinate genetic testing and high-risk cancer surveillance for individuals and their families with hereditary cancer syndromes.
Because of the complexity and personal nature of genetic conditions, Dr. Ireland takes extra time to evaluate and explain all aspects of the consultation, genetic testing and recommendations. She uses modern cytogenetic, molecular, genomic and biochemical genetic testing to assist in specialized diagnostic evaluations and implement therapeutic interventions.
Born and raised in Honolulu, Dr. Ireland returned to Hawai‘i from the Mayo Clinic in 2005. She is board-certified in Medical Genetics and is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Hawai‘i John A. Burns School of Medicine.
