Clinical genetics is the study of inherited disease in humans. This includes disorders of the newborn, child, and adult, which may involve congenital malformations, chromosome abnormalities, metabolic conditions, and later-onset diseases. Geneticists provide diagnosis and counseling about risks for inherited diseases for individuals and family members.
The Division of Human Genetics provides diagnosis and counseling for children and adults, and counseling and carrier screening for couples anticipating or involved in pregnancies.
