Pediatric Genetics

Pediatric geneticists specialize in diagnosing, managing, and counseling families about genetic conditions including birth defects, developmental delays, metabolic disorders and inherited conditions. To ensure continuity of care, our team works closely with your family pediatrician and other specialty care services.

We use the history and physical exam, in addition to comprehensive or targeted genetic testing to determine if there is an identifiable genetic explanation for a medical problem. The pediatric genetic specialists at St. Luke's treat the following—and more:

• Autism spectrum disorders
• Birth defects
• Chromosomal disorders
• Connective tissue disorders
• Craniofacial differences
• Developmental delays or intellectual disabilities
• Growth problems
• Hearing or vision impairments
• Neurocutaneous disorders
• Pediatric cancer predisposition conditions
• Skeletal dysplasias
• Single gene disorders
• Vascular and overgrowth conditions
