Michigan’s leader in diagnosing and managing genetic disorders

Using a multidisciplinary approach, the division of Genetic and Metabolic Disorders at Children’s Hospital of Michigan provides expert diagnosis, follow-up, treatment and counseling for infants and children with genetic disorders. The division is staffed by board-certified clinical geneticists, board-certified genetic counselors, specially trained nurses, dietitians, social workers and clinical psychologists. Faculty members are boarded in clinical genetics, biochemical genetics and molecular genetics.

The division works closely with the Detroit Medical Center (DMC) University Laboratories in molecular genetics, cytogenetics and biochemical genetics. The DMC is home to Michigan’s only biochemical laboratory staffed by a Ph.D. boarded clinical biochemical geneticist.
