About of Carolyn L. Rogers

Carolyn L. Rogers is a geneticist based in Waratah, NSW, Australia.

She works with people and families who are trying to make sense of genetic conditions and related health concerns. Genetics can be tricky. At times, the signs show up early, and other times they only become clear over time. Carolyn helps connect the dots so you can get a clearer picture of what might be going on.


Her clinical focus includes Fragile X Syndrome and Angelman Syndrome. She also looks after people affected by Prader-Willi Syndrome, and she supports cases involving mosaicism, where genetic differences can be present in only some cells. In many cases, this kind of work helps guide next steps for care, support, and planning.


Carolyn also works with autism spectrum disorder. This can look different from person to person, and it may come with other challenges. Genetics is only one part of the story, but it can still be an important piece for families who want answers.


Alongside neurodevelopmental conditions, she sees people with movement disorders. That can include drug induced dyskinesia, where unwanted movements happen after medicines. She may also be involved in cases where movement patterns need careful review and support.


Another part of her work includes epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, which is a skin condition. When skin symptoms are involved, it often helps to have genetic thinking and careful assessment alongside day to day medical care.


Carolyn is based in Waratah and provides care in the local area. If you’re seeking a geneticist for support with conditions like these, it’s best to discuss your situation directly with the clinic.
