Wendy K. Chung, MD, PhD
Director, Division of Clinical GeneticsLearning that you or your child has a genetic disorder or an elevated risk of a disease due to genetics can be a cause for concern. The staff of the Division of Clinical Genetics at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital has exceptional expertise in evaluating your family's risk. We provide compassionate genetic counseling, comprehensive testing, and ongoing care for a variety of genetic conditions. We help facilitate evaluations and clinical care with other specialists and with resources to help you understand and manage the condition.
Our Division features specialized programs in a variety of areas, such as cancer, heart disease, birth defects, problems with growth, autism, developmental delay, seizures, metabolic disorders, patients with chromosome disorders (including chromosome deletions and duplications), patients with rare disorders, and patients with undiagnosed disorders. As an academic medical center, our staff also conducts research to better understand and treat genetic conditions. You or your child may have the opportunity to participate in research studies to improve care, and clinical trials of innovative therapies.
If you are planning a family, our experts provide options to improve your chance to have healthy children in the future.
