Pediatric Genetics

Our pediatric geneticists understand how to evaluate a child’s condition, outline treatment options and explain what the future may hold in store for the family.

Your child’s growth and development is guided by genetics – the genes inherited from both parents. While most children enjoy a normal development, there are some hereditary conditions that may benefit from genetic screening, testing and treatment.

Our experts at Holtz Children’s Hospital also have immediate access to many resources available at the University of Miami Health System. As a result, we’re able to evaluate, treat and counsel patients and family members for many kinds of genetic issues, including the following:

  • Achondroplasia (dwarfism)
  • Birth defects
  • Congenital heart problems
  • Down Syndrome
  • Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
  • Fragile X Syndrome
  • Williams syndrome
