Clinical Biochemical Geneticists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 207SG0202X
A clinical biochemical geneticist demonstrates competence in performing and interpreting biochemical analyses relevant to the diagnosis and management of human genetic diseases. They also serve as consultants regarding the laboratory diagnosis of a broad range of inherited disorders.
Clinical Cytogeneticists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 207SC0300X
A clinical cytogeneticist demonstrates competence in providing laboratory diagnostic and clinical interpretive services dealing with cellular components, particularly chromosomes, associated with heredity.
Clinical Geneticists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 207SG0201X
A clinical geneticist demonstrates competence in providing comprehensive diagnostic, management, and counseling services for genetic disorders.
Clinical Molecular Geneticists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 207SG0203X
A clinical molecular geneticist demonstrates competence in performing and interpreting molecular analyses relevant to the diagnosis and management of human genetic diseases.
They also serve as consultants regarding the laboratory diagnosis of a broad range of inherited disorders.
Medical Geneticists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 207SG0205X
A medical geneticist works in association with a medical specialist, is affiliated with a clinical genetics program, and serves as a consultant to medical and dental specialists.
Medical Biochemical Geneticists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 207SG0207X
A medical biochemical geneticist specializes in diagnosing, evaluating, preventing, and treating patients with biochemical genetic disorders, which are defined as inborn errors of metabolism that can occur at any age.
Training does not include those skills and knowledge necessary to direct a clinical laboratory.
Molecular Genetic Pathologists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 207SM0001X
A board-certified subspecialist, the molecular genetic pathologist is an expert in the principles, theory, and technologies of molecular biology and molecular genetics.
This expertise is used to make or confirm diagnoses of Mendelian genetic disorders, of human development, infectious diseases, and malignancies, and to assess the natural history of those disorders.
A molecular genetic pathologist provides information about gene structure, function, and alteration, and applies laboratory techniques for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for individuals with related disorders.
