The UCSF Pediatric Medical Genetics and Genomics Clinic, located at 744 52nd Street in Oakland, California, is a world-class institution dedicated to serving children who are at risk for or suspected of having a genetically based disorder. The clinic offers stress-free visits with accommodations for families, admission, discharge, and procedure prep all covered. The comprehensive team includes expert doctors in medical genetics and genetic counselors who work together to evaluate each child's medical records and family history to form accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. The clinic specializes in handling conditions ranging from common to the most rare genetic disorders. Parents typically visit the clinic because their child has a birth defect, developmental delays, learning differences, or a family history of a genetic condition. The clinic's approach includes considering the implications of a patient's health and genetic testing for the entire family, especially in cases where siblings may also be susceptible to genetic disorders. Children with known or suspected inborn errors of metabolism should be seen at the San Francisco clinic, where rare genetic disorders affecting the body's ability to turn food into energy are treated.
