Clinical
Our Mission
The BWH Division of Genetics, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, provides genetic counseling and treatment services to adult patients with a known or presumed genetic basis for specific diseases. Patients of all ages and their families are evaluated in the referral clinic for a full range of genetic disorders. We have special expertise in the diseases affecting adults, including but not limited to complex diseases (e.g. coronary artery disease, sleep apnea), metabolic disease (porphyrias), connective tissue disease (Marfan, Ehler-Danlos syndromes). Patients may receive a complete family history evaluation, genetic diagnosis of patient and family, and genetic counseling. In addition, maternal-fetal specialists in the Antenatal Diagnostic Center are available for consultations concerning pregnancies complicated by medical or obstetrical conditions with a known and presumed genetic basis such as diabetes, hypertension, prior pregnancy loss and congenital anomalies. The Division of Genetics provides access to genotype analysis by direct DNA sequencing or linkage analysis.
The clinic meets weekly. Please scroll down to "Our Staff and Services" and click on "Services" to contact a Genetics Counselor or to make an appointment.
