Our Genetics and Genomics Program cares for kids and families with many different health problems. Families come to us with worries about their child’s or family member’s well-being. These concerns can be problems that started at birth or new issues that have just come up.
Many want to make sure they’re on the right path with their child’s care. For some, this is the first time their loved one has seen a genetic expert.
We care for kids with changes in chromosomes that affect growth and body function. Some have inherited gene changes, while others have issues with connective tissue or metabolism. We also see kids with brain and nerve conditions, rare problems and those with unknown causes.
We study genes closely. Our experts diagnose conditions, predict health risks and offer custom treatments. This method, called genomic medicine, helps families find answers and hope every day.
