Wendy K. Chung, MD, PhD
Director, Division of Clinical GeneticsThe Division of Clinical Genetics provides clinical evaluation and risk assessment, genetic counseling and genetic testing for a variety of genetic conditions. We also provide ongoing care for patients with genetic conditions, coordinate multidisciplinary care for patients, and help patients access resources related to their condition. When appropriate, we identify research studies for which patients may qualify to understand their condition better or provide additional therapeutic options. For patients planning their families, we provide reproductive options for having healthy children.We have specialized programs in several areas.
