Medical Genomics

We provide clinical evaluation, genetic counseling, and preventive screening for patients and families affected by inherited and metabolic disorders. Through specialized clinics and innovative programs, the team helps individuals understand their genetic risks, navigate diagnostic results, and access personalized care and management strategies.

Consultants and genetic counselors evaluate patients across cardiovascular genetics, inherited metabolic disease, cancer genomics, dysmorphology, and other genetic conditions. Through detailed family history assessment, risk evaluation, and results interpretation, the team helps patients understand what genetic findings mean for their health and guides them toward appropriate monitoring, treatment, or preventive measures.

The department pioneers programs that bring genomic care to broader populations: precision medicine clinics embedded in primary care settings, expanded premarital genetic screening using whole genome sequencing to inform family planning decisions, multidisciplinary prenatal boards for complex cases, and specialized cardiovascular genomics services. These initiatives make genetic expertise accessible beyond traditional specialized centres.

Genetic conditions ripple through families, which is why the department takes a comprehensive, family-centred approach delivered through integrated, multidisciplinary care. Physicians, genetic counselors, dietitians, and metabolic specialists work together to provide families with coordinated support, from initial risk assessment and diagnosis through ongoing management. This model ensures continuity and personalized guidance as families navigate genetic health challenges together.
