Abstract
:
The Clinical Genetic Service commenced at KAUH with the first Genetic Clinic officially running in April 2005. The Medical Genetic Unit, which is the major genetic referral center in the Western Region of the Kingdoms, was launched in October 2005. Since then, over 300 patients have been referred to the service, mostly from pediatricians and obstetricians, and to a lesser extent from pediatric surgery, neurosurgery and orthopedics. The mission of the Medical Genetic Unit is to promote the delivery of genetic health care services and contribute to the prevention of genetic disorders in addition to its educational and research roles in Medical Genetic. This research project aims to study the pattern of genetic disorde3rs over a 2 year period. Most likely inheritance patterns will be based on clinical diagnosis and pedigree analysis. The relevant risk factors, especially those which are potentially preventable, will be elucidated. Funding this research is hoped to help gauge the magnitude and type of burden of genetic disorders in the area, and therefore the required measures to prevent or lessen their effects. Secondarily, it will help expand this service, set up a genetic database, and aid in laboratory testing for rare disorders.
