Genetics
The Kuwait Medical Genetics Centre carries out diagnosis of rare
monogenic diseases, investigates cases of congenital malformations and
provides counseling for families with genetic disorders including primary
infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, congenital malformations,
structural/numerical chromosomal abnormalities, genetic forms of mental
retardation and visual disorders. The centre is actively exploring means of
reducing neonatal mortality and physical disabilities and provides training
programmes for doctors and technical staff in the area of genetic
counseling. The Centre has strong ties with recognised worldwide genetics
centres and universities, particularly in the UK where many of the clinical
and laboratory staff have received their postgraduate qualifications and
training. Scheduled visits to the KMGC are also arranged for foreign
clinicians and scientists with recognised international expertise.
