Yale Clinical Genetics is committed to providing excellent clinical care for adults and children in a setting that values compassion, collaboration, and respect for individuals and families.

Four clinical genetics physicians certified by the American Board of Medical Genetics provide state of the art genetic services including diagnosis, evaluation, counseling, and management for genetic and congenital conditions. The clinical team includes genetic counselors and a genetic nutritionist and a metabolic Nurse Practitioner.

Cancer genetic counseling services include the provision of information on inherited cancers, discussion, coordination and interpretation of genetic testing, and determination of the likelihood that cancers in a family are hereditary.
