Pediatric Genetics and Metabolism

The Division of Pediatric Genetics and Metabolism is a leader in care, research, and education of conditions with a genetic basis. We focus on children with birth defects, malformation syndromes, genetically defined developmental delays, and inborn errors of metabolism. We also specialize in genetic testing strategies and interpretation of genetic variants. Identifying the genetic basis of rare conditions often leads to specific treatments that dramatically improve the health of the patient.

Highlights of our Division include:

Close collaboration with the McDermott Center for Human Growth and Development and genetics researchers throughout UT Southwestern
Special expertise in metabolics and birth defects
Strong telemedicine presence that extends our reach beyond the Dallas area
