The largest clinical genetics clinic in the country, Texas
Children's Hospital Genetics Clinic strives to stay at the forefront of genetic
research while offering families the latest diagnostic and clinical resources available.
Our physicians are faculty in the
Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine.
Children are referred to our clinic for many reasons, including
developmental delay or a suspected genetic condition. The initial evaluation
includes the taking of a detailed family history and physical exam.
We also counsel families when a genetic diagnosis is known
as to the pattern of inheritance, complications and prognosis of the condition,
risk for future pregnancy and reproductive options.
Specialty clinics within our department include the metabolic
clinic,
neurofibromatosis
clinic,
skeletal dysplasia clinic,
cancer genetics
clinic, adult genetics clinic. The cardiovascular genetics clinic is
a joint effort with our department and cardiology.
Additionally, we have a joint clinic with the otolaryngology
department, the otogenetics clinic, that meets monthly.
