1. Overview
Department of Clinical Genetics was formally established in August 2024 as one of the earliest specialized genetics departments in China. Led by Professor Huang Taosheng, an internationally renowned expert in genetics, the department comprises core members from various subspecialties related to genetic medicine. The Department is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of genetic disorders, providing world-class individualized therapeutic protocols and long-term management for patients with hereditary diseases, as well as comprehensive genetic counseling for affected families. Furthermore, the Department has assembled a strong mentorship faculty comprising distinguished experts from over ten disciplines at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University. Currently applying for accreditation as a specialized training base, the Department offers comprehensive training and mentorship for clinical genetics fellows.
2. Test and Procedures
Department of Clinical Genetics provides integrated, one-stop care for patients with genetic disorders. Leveraging state-of-the-art genetic testing technologies, we strive to deliver accurate diagnoses and precision therapeutics. For families with established diagnoses, we offer comprehensive, family-centered genetic counseling and diagnostic services. Based on individual clinical phenotypes and genotypes, we develop world-class, personalized treatment protocols for patients and their family members, accompanied by longitudinal follow-up and long-term disease management. Additionally, we provide systematic, comprehensive subspecialty training for physicians committed to the diagnosis, treatment, and research of genetic disorders, cultivating excellence in clinical geneticists and genetic counselors to serve broader populations affected by hereditary conditions.
