Genetic Disorders

A genetic disorder is a genetic problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome, especially a condition that is present from birth (congenital). Most genetic disorders are quite rare and affect one person in every several thousands or millions.

Better understanding of the genetic disorder of your child and early interventions can greatly increase the quality of life for children and adults with the disorder and help them live fulfilling lives.
