The Harvard Partners Center for Genetics and Genomics offers a variety of services to clinicians and their patients. For clinicians' convenience, many of the center's services are available at the point of care, both on-site and online.

The Center for Genetics and Genomics operates full-service Genetics Clinics at Massachusetts General Hospital (adult and pediatrics) and Brigham and Women's Hospital (adult) for patients with known or suspected genetic conditions. These clinics are staffed by board certified and/or fellowship trained medical geneticists and genetic counselors. This team works collaboratively with referring clinicians to meet the specific needs of the patient.

The Genetics Clinics are committed to providing quick, easy access to their services and staff. For example, appointments may be arranged with just one phone call. At each campus, a clinical coordinator is available to provide assistance to clinicians and patients, making sure their needs are met quickly, courteously, and efficiently.
