Patient Care
Each year the Clinical Cancer Genetics Program provides comprehensive risk assessments and cancer genetic counseling to approximately 600 families.

As well as ensuring comprehensive patient care in cancer genetics throughout Ohio, this partnership enhances accrual to our cancer genetics research protocols.
The Division also has an active Medical Genetics Program that provides consultation and evaluation for all genetic conditions. Two unique, specialized programs include the Cardiogenetics Program and the Adult Down Syndrome Clinic. The Cardiogenetics program includes the High Risk Family Heart Clinic and the Hereditary Heart Rhythm Disorders Clinic as well as consultation for patients and families with cardiomyopathy and aneurysm disorders. The goal of the Adult Down Syndrome Clinic is to provide a comprehensive program that provides complete medical evaluations, focusing on issues specific to both adults with Down syndrome and their families.
