Can someone tell me if Dr Debajit Sen is 'genetic' rheumatologist, been told 17yr old daughter cant see Dr Kazkaz until she is 18 yrs old. thank you in advance if anyone...

I am not aware of an official sub-category of rheumatology called 'genetic rheumatology'. However, if you look at his profile on the UCLH site you can see that connective tissue disorders are listed in his 'special interests' section, so although I have not personally met him and so cannot say whether he would be suitable, his interest in connective tissue disorders means that he may be.

Good luck
