Genetics Research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital 

Investigators at Nationwide Children’s Hospital apply the most advanced technologies to examine the genetic causes of pediatric disease, with an emphasis on autism and congenital heart diseases.  Their efforts continue to improve diagnosis and treatment of children with inherited disease.  

 

Current Clinical Studies

Center for Molecular and Human Genetics 

The Center for Molecular and Human Genetics at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital uses molecular and genetic tools to investigate normal developmental processes and that the pathogenesis of complex disorders such as congenital heart disease, autism, atherosclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.  

 

The Center employs the most advanced post-genomic technologies, maintains close ties with clinical geneticists and the genetics diagnostic laboratories at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, as well as with the Divisions of Cardiology, Nephrology, Psychology and Gastroenterology.
