Apollo Adlux Hospital’s Department of Medical Genetics provides specialised evaluation and management for children with rare diseases, genetic syndromes, developmental concerns, and inherited metabolic conditions. Paediatric genetic assessment helps identify the underlying genetic cause of unexplained medical conditions and supports early, accurate diagnosis. Clinical evaluation includes dysmorphology assessment, growth and developmental assessment, and detailed review of personal and family medical history.
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) represent an important area of paediatric genetics. Conditions such as phenylketonuria (PKU), maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), and organic acidaemias can affect metabolism and require timely diagnosis and appropriate clinical management. Newborn screening plays a crucial role in identifying certain metabolic disorders before significant symptoms develop.
Children with autism, developmental delay, intellectual disability, skeletal dysplasias, and unexplained growth disorders may also benefit from a comprehensive medical genetics evaluation. Genetic assessment can help determine whether an underlying chromosomal, molecular, or inherited condition is contributing to the child's presentation.
Apollo Adlux Medical Genetics combines clinical genetics, genetic counselling, dysmorphology, newborn screening, and advanced genomic evaluation to support children and families seeking answers for rare and inherited disorders. Early diagnosis can help guide appropriate management, family counselling, recurrence-risk assessment, and informed healthcare decisions.
