Dr. Clark collaborates closely with pediatricians, neurologists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and other subspecialists to ensure coordinated care. Services are available for prenatal, pediatric, and adult populations, including those with hereditary cancer predisposition or neurodevelopmental conditions.

• Diagnostic genetic evaluation – Detailed medical and family history, physical exam with dysmorphology assessment, review of prior records and imaging

• Genetic testing – Chromosomal microarray, whole exome sequencing, single-gene testing, FISH, karyotype, targeted mutation analysis

• Prenatal genetics – Counseling and testing for advanced maternal age, abnormal ultrasound findings, family history of genetic disorders; coordination of amniocentesis/CVS

• Oncogenetics – Hereditary cancer risk assessment, genetic testing for BRCA, Lynch syndrome, etc., and referral for enhanced screening or preventive surgery

• Pediatric genetics – Evaluation of developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism, multiple congenital anomalies, failure to thrive, metabolic disorders

• Adult genetics – Diagnosis or confirmation of genetic conditions in adulthood, family planning counseling, management of adult-onset disorders (e.g., Huntington’s)
