Clinical genetics
What is clinical genetics?
At HM Hospitales, our Genomics Department offers precise testing and personalized support for people with inherited conditions or those at risk of developing them. Our specialists study genes, chromosomes, and proteins to identify the causes of these diseases and advise families on the likelihood of transmission and available reproductive options. This specialty is crucial in the prevention and treatment of hereditary diseases.
Molecular genetics techniques
We use a wide variety of diagnostic tools, such as chromosomal analysis, DNA analysis, and genome sequencing studies. Using next-generation sequencing, a molecular genetics technique that examines thousands of genes quickly and efficiently, we can test for genes linked to hereditary cancers, giving you the opportunity to take preventive steps before any symptoms develop. This approach allows us to provide a very early diagnosis, detecting cancer in its initial stages, when the chances of successful treatment are greater. In addition, our team of specialists will help you understand the test results and guide you on the available options, including prenatal diagnosis, reproductive counseling, and family planning.
If you have a family history of hereditary diseases or are concerned about your health or that of your family, make an appointment with our specialists and make informed decisions about your future.
