Clinical Genetics

Clinical Genetics is the medical specialty that focuses on diagnosing, managing, and providing guidance for individuals and families affected by genetic disorders. It combines genetic testing, molecular diagnostics, and family history analysis to identify inherited conditions, ranging from single-gene disorders to complex multifactorial diseases. Clinical geneticists play a crucial role in assessing disease risk, offering prognostic information, and recommending personalized treatment strategies, while also guiding patients on reproductive and preventive healthcare decisions. The field is central to areas such as prenatal and newborn screening, cancer genetics, rare diseases, and the implementation of precision medicine. Advances in next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics, genomic technologies, and molecular diagnostics have expanded the ability to detect, characterize, and manage genetic disorders accurately and efficiently. Clinical genetics integrates medical expertise with ethical, psychological, and social considerations, ultimately improving disease management, supporting preventive strategies, and contributing to better patient outcomes and public health.
