GENETICS and BIRTH DEFECTS
|
Most children are born healthy with no medical problems or birth defects. However, some children are born with differences in body structure, brain development, or body chemistry that can lead to problems with health, development, school performance, and/or social interaction. Pediatric genetics is concerned with the identification of the causes and natural history of these disorders. Geneticists also play a key role in assisting families and the medical home in identifying and managing the special health care needs of children with genetic disorders.
