Conditions We Evaluate and Manage

Genetic Syndromes

Genetic syndromes occur due to changes in chromosomes or specific genes and can affect multiple body systems.

Common conditions include:

• Down Syndrome
• Turner Syndrome
• Noonan Syndrome
• Williams Syndrome
• Prader-Willi Syndrome
• Angelman Syndrome

Early diagnosis helps guide medical care, developmental support, and family counseling.

Developmental Delays and Intellectual Disabilities

Many children with unexplained developmental concerns may have an underlying genetic cause.

Conditions may present with:

• Delayed milestones
• Learning difficulties
• Speech and language delays
• Cognitive challenges
• Behavioral concerns

Genetic evaluation can help identify the cause and guide management.

Autism Spectrum Disorder with Genetic Associations

Certain genetic conditions are associated with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Our specialists evaluate:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Genetic causes of developmental disorders
• Syndromic autism conditions

Identifying a genetic diagnosis can assist with treatment planning and family counseling.

Congenital Birth Defects

Some babies are born with structural abnormalities affecting one or more organs.

Examples include:

• Congenital heart defects
• Cleft lip and palate
• Limb abnormalities
• Neural tube defects
• Craniofacial anomalies

Genetic assessment helps determine underlying causes and recurrence risks.

Inherited Metabolic Disorders

Metabolic disorders occur when the body cannot properly process certain nutrients due to enzyme deficiencies.

Conditions include:

• Phenylketonuria (PKU)
• Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD)
• Glycogen Storage Disorders
• Mitochondrial Disorders
• Organic Acidemias

Early diagnosis is critical to prevent serious complications and support healthy development.

Neuromuscular Genetic Disorders

Certain inherited disorders affect the muscles and nervous system.

Conditions include:

• Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
• Becker Muscular Dystrophy
• Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
• Hereditary Neuropathies

Early genetic diagnosis allows access to appropriate treatments and support services.

Rare Genetic Disorders

Many rare diseases have a genetic basis and require specialized evaluation.

Our team assesses children with:

• Unexplained medical symptoms
• Multiple congenital anomalies
• Rare syndromic conditions
• Undiagnosed developmental disorders

Advanced genetic testing often helps establish a definitive diagnosis.

Chromosomal Disorders

Chromosomal abnormalities can affect growth, development, and organ function.

Examples include:

• Trisomy disorders
• Microdeletion syndromes
• Microduplication syndromes
• Sex chromosome abnormalities

Comprehensive genetic assessment helps guide long-term care.

Hereditary Kidney, Liver, and Heart Disorders

Certain inherited conditions affect major organ systems.

Conditions may include:

• Polycystic Kidney Disease

• Metabolic Liver Disorders
• Connective Tissue Disorders

Genetic diagnosis supports early monitoring and intervention.

Genetic Causes of Growth Disorders

Children with unusual growth patterns may have underlying genetic conditions.

Examples include:

• Short stature syndromes
• Skeletal dysplasias
• Growth hormone-related genetic disorders
• Overgrowth syndromes

Early evaluation helps optimize treatment outcomes.
