Medical genetics and neurodevelopmental pediatrics

At Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, we have a dedicated bone dysplasia clinic. Our team of geneticists and certified genetic counselors work together to provide comprehensive care for children and their families. We specialize in the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of skeletal dysplasias. Conditions that are commonly evaluated in this clinic include achondroplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta and many other skeletal dysplasias. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care for each child and family.

Children with connective tissue disorders need special care from doctors and care teams with expertise in these types of conditions. Geneticists at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital provide diagnostics (genetic testing) and comprehensive care for children and adults with connective tissue disorders, such as Marfan syndrome, Loeys Dietz syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and hypermobility syndromes.

Specialists at the Down Syndrome Clinic at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital diagnose and treat children with Down syndrome. If your child has already been diagnosed, they can be referred to our program for care. At our clinic, your child and family will be connected to:

• Assessments for your child’s development
• Genetic testing options for parents
• Pediatric specialists
• Personalized care plans

Here, your child and family are connected to a wide range of specialties. Because children with Down syndrome often need care from multiple specialists, your child's care team may include specialists in cardiology, ENT (ear, nose and throat), adolescent medicine, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, audiology, nutrition, and more. To help make getting the care your child needs easier, we coordinate appointments with your child’s specialists on the same day in our clinic.

Geneticists at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital provide follow-up care for infants who were born before 34 weeks and have been in the NICU. We specialize in the diagnosis of developmental delay, congenital malformations and neuro-dysfunctional conditions. Our care team includes a medical geneticist, neonatologist, pediatric rehabilitation specialists and others. Your child’s geneticist takes the time to explain your child’s diagnosis and what to expect. We also connect your child and family with other pediatric specialties at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, including nutritional services and speech pathology. Our goal is to provide comprehensive follow-up care for your baby once they leave the NICU.
