 Pediatric Genetics Clinic 

The Kleberg Genetics Clinic is a joint effort of the Department of Molecular & Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine and the Texas Children's Hospital. The clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive medical genetic consultation and services to patients and their families in issues dealing with heredity. Patients are generally referred through their primary care physicians or other specialist. However, appropriate self-referrals are accepted.

The clinic is staffed by board certified medical geneticists. The clinical staff renders appropriate screening, diagnosis, evaluation, counseling, and treatment for patients with a family history or a presumed diagnosis of a genetic condition. In addition to laboratory services provided by Texas Children's Hospital, we also utilize our department's own state-of-the-art biochemical, cytogenetic, and DNA diagnostic laboratories located at Baylor College of Medicine. With these resources, and by networking with other genetic laboratories and services around the world, we take pride in offering the highest quality genetic services available anywhere.

The Kleberg Genetics Clinic is pleased to serve Houston, Texas, the United States, and patients from around the world. The clinic constantly strives to maintain top professionals in the field and continue to conduct research in the area of genetics. Through research, we are able to make an impact in the field of genetics by providing new and exciting techniques and information which are recognized by others on an international scale.
