Get to know Alexandra N. Grace, MSN, CPNP, ACGN
Alexandra Noel Grace, MSN, CPNP, ACGN, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine and a Pediatric Genetic Nurse Practitioner at Texas Children's Hospital. She specializes in the evaluation and management of children with suspected and confirmed genetic conditions, including rare and undiagnosed disorders. Her clinical interests include dysmorphology, skeletal disorders, connective tissue disorders, neuromuscular conditions, inborn errors of metabolism, and lysosomal storage diseases, with a particular focus on emerging diagnostic and therapeutic advances.

Personal Statement
My philosophy of care starts with the individual. Genetics is rarely straight forward, and there is no single approach that works for every patient, condition, or family. I believe the most important part of my role is taking the time to listen, understand each family's goals and concerns, and provide care that reflects their unique needs. I strive to translate complex genetic information into practical, meaningful guidance that patients and families can use in their daily lives. While genetics can at times raise more questions than answers, I am committed to providing evidence-based recommendations, thoughtful counseling, and ongoing support throughout the diagnostic journey. My goal is to help patients and families feel informed, supported, and empowered as they navigate an often complex and evolving field of medicine.
