About the unit
Our medical genetics team is made up of geneticists and genetic counselors who offer up-to-date testing, diagnosis, and recurrence risk counseling to both pediatric and adult patients seeking care. Our goal is to try to help you and your family discover the underlying genetic cause of a condition, provide risk assessments for other family members, provide support and resources and discuss medical management options.
We offer evaluation, genetic counseling and testing options to patients who have a personal or family history of specific health or developmental issues that may be caused by an underlying genetic condition. Our team attempts to determine the cause of birth defects, developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders, complex medical histories, and uncommon combinations of physical features.
