Reproductive genetics and prenatal diagnostics, the diagnosis of rare diseases or developmental disorders in children, risk assessment for hereditary tumour diseases, or the inheritance of one’s own conditions to children – the Department of Medical Genetics is a leader in the diagnosis of genetically determined diseases. With an interdisciplinary team of over 100 experts, including medical doctors, scientists, and bioinformaticians, our department is one of the largest university-based genetics centres in Germany.

In our genetic outpatient clinic, our experts discuss the relevant aspects and possible diagnostic options with you, such as chromosomal analyses, gene panel testing, exome, and genome sequencing. We employ cutting-edge diagnostic techniques to identify disease-related genetic variations ("mutations"). As part of the Centre for Medical Genetics, the Department of Medical Genetics is closely connected to research: New scientific findings, including those from the Institute for Reproductive Genetics, are directly integrated into our counselling, diagnosis, and treatment.
