Genetic and Metabolic Disorders

The section of Genetic Medicine provides comprehensive services for a variety of patients and their families with genetic and metabolic disorders. MMI prides itself on the ability to diagnose anomalies using genetic testing. In 80 percent of cases, families change the management of the disorder following the genetic diagnosis.

MMI Geneticists and Genetic Counselors assist individuals and families in understanding the diagnosis, treatment and management of a genetic and metabolic disorder. They offer advice on recurrent risks and future family implications, in addition to helping parents gain an understanding of what may have caused the anomaly. Our Genetic Counselors help to identify resources in collaboration with school systems, assist with treatment plans and navigate insurance coverage, and coordinate referrals to other agencies and support groups associated with a specific diagnosis.

Not only does MMI offer these services in the Omaha metro area, but clinics for children with special needs are offered across the State of Nebraska. You can attend the nearest clinic by contacting your family physician or the genetics clinic coordinator.
