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.
