Clinical Genetics provides diagnosis, counselling and treatment for children suffering from a variety of genetic problems.

A clinical geneticist and a genetic counsellor evaluate new-borns and children with developmental delays, unusual facial features, metabolic disorders, seizures, craniofacial anomalies and failure to progress.

These are several of the reasons why children are referred to be evaluated by geneticists.

In prenatal terms, patients planning a pregnancy and those who present genetic problems during pregnancies in progress are counselled.
