About the Children's Hospital Genetics
Welcome to Children's Hospital Genetics, located at 200 Henry Clay Ave, New Orleans, LA 70118. Our specialized health department is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and managing genetic disorders in children. Genetic disorders are conditions caused by abnormalities in DNA, which can manifest at birth or develop as a child grows. At Children's Hospital New Orleans, we recognize the complex nature of these disorders, which may be inherited or influenced by environmental factors.
Our department offers a wide range of specialty clinics, including those for cleft lip/palate, Down syndrome, neurofibromatosis, connective tissue disorders, PKU, and other metabolic disorders. We provide expert genetic counseling and specialty consultations to help families understand and manage these conditions. As one of the referral centers for the Louisiana Newborn Screening (NBS) Program, we are committed to offering follow-up evaluations for patients with presumptive positive newborn screens.
While the study of genetics is a rapidly advancing field, many genetic disorders currently lack a cure. Our focus is on managing symptoms and preventing the onset of diseases for which children may be at increased risk. We are at the forefront of exploring innovative treatments like gene therapy, which aims to replace mutated genes with normal ones. Although still experimental, gene therapy holds promise for conditions that presently have no known cures.
Children's Hospital New Orleans is committed to inclusivity and accessibility. We ensure equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities to participate in and benefit from our programs and services. We offer reasonable accommodations, including access to service animals, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Service animals are welcome across all our facilities, ensuring that our environment is supportive and accommodating.
