Carol Wicking is a Medical Geneticist based in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. She looks after families who need help understanding how inherited conditions can affect a baby, child, or adult over time. Genetics can feel confusing and a bit overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with something rare, so clear explanations matter.
Her work focuses on genetic conditions, including a range of syndromes and inherited disorders. In many cases, she helps people make sense of shared features seen in families, and what that can mean for future health. Conditions she supports include Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, Joubert syndrome, and forms of ectodermal dysplasia. She also works with families affected by skeletal differences such as chondrodysplasias and problems like brachydactyly.
Carol also helps with genetic conditions that can involve the skin and growth. For example, aplasia cutis congenita and clouston syndrome are the kind of disorders where early guidance can help families plan what to watch for and what support might be needed. At times, she may be involved when there are concerns around chest or airway development, such as asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy.
Some conditions she supports affect organs as well as body features. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is one example, where genetics can play a big part in long-term planning. There are also other rarer diagnoses on her service list, including polycystic and structural conditions, and syndromes that may involve multiple parts of the body.
