The Genetics Program comprises clinics that serve individuals at risk for or with a genetic disorder or disability. Clinics offer diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and counseling services to meet the needs of these clients. Clinics also provide information on current research, support groups, and other community resources to help individuals and family members understand and manage the condition.
Disorders diagnosed and treated by the Genetics Program include neurological, metabolic, and biochemical disorders. Genetic counselors also provide information about the heritability of a particular disorder to inform and support parents in preventing developmental and other disabilities in their future children.
