Medical genetics is the branch of medicine concerned with how hereditary and genetic factors play a role in causing a disease, birth defect or inherited susceptibility to a health problem. The Division of Genetics at Children's of Mississippi offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment for known or suspected inherited disorders.

Our clinical team includes five board-certified geneticists, two nurse practitioners, five board-certified genetic counselors and one metabolic dietitian who serve the adult, pediatric and prenatal patient populations of Mississippi.
