About the Genetics Department

Specialized Medical Genetics & Predictive Counseling

Understanding your DNA is the key to proactive health management. The Department of Medical Genetics at Indira Super Speciality Hospital offers highly advanced diagnostic screening and expert counseling to help you and your family navigate inheritable conditions safely and confidently.

Comprehensive Molecular Diagnostics

Our goal is to convert complex genetic data into actionable health strategies:

  • High-Risk Prenatal Screening: Accurate chromosomal mapping during pregnancy to detect anomalies early, empowering parents with vital information.
  • Onco-Genetics (Cancer Risk): Deep genetic profiling for hereditary cancer syndromes (including BRCA1/2, Lynch Syndrome). We help build aggressive risk-reduction and early-detection plans for your family members.
  • Pediatric & Developmental Genetics: Thorough molecular evaluation of birth defects, early developmental delays, and rare metabolic disorders in newborns and infants.
  • Empathetic Genetic Counseling: A diagnosis can be overwhelming. Our certified counselors provide detailed pre- and post-test guidance to clearly map out the medical implications and future planning.

Armed with knowledge, you can make informed decisions. We partner with you to demystify genetics and protect future generations.
