The Division of Medical Genetics offers children with complex genetic diseases a spectrum of diagnosis, treatment and laboratory services based on the most recent scientific advances.
Our staff works to provide a comfortable, friendly environment for patients and families. Our goal is to educate family members about the child's condition and prognosis, available therapies, and the likelihood another pregnancy may produce a child with a similar condition, as well as to make available prenatal diagnosis for parents planning to have additional children.
The evaluation and treatment of metabolic disorders, including mitochondrial disorders, is a key strength of our Division. In addition, we have expanded our role in prenatal diagnosis, in close collaboration with the
OB/GYN/Perinatal Division of the
Keck School of Medicine of the
University of Southern California.
