GENOMIC MEDICINE
WHAT IS GENOMIC MEDICINE?
Genomic Medicine integrates the understanding of gene interactions and
environmental factors as they contribute to human diseases. The Division
of Genomic Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at UC Davis applies
this information to improve health care outcomes for both ADULT and
PEDIATRIC patients with genetic/genomic disorders through diagnostic
testing, clinical care, education, and research.
WHO WE ARE
Our team of 4 clinical geneticists and 5 licensed and certified
genetic counselors are available to help navigate the complexities of
new genomic technology such as Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)
and multiple gene panels in our outpatient Genetic Counseling
clinics, Genomic Medicine clinics, or our On-Call service.
HOW WE CAN HELP
 Evaluate appropriate genetic, genomic, and/or
biochemical testing strategies or alternatives
