| Clinical Genetic Services: Clinical genetics are medical services provided to individuals, families, and populations who have or are at risk for disorders with genetic implications. Services include testing, counseling, education, treatment, and where appropriate, referral for other services. The Ohio Department of Health (ODH)-Regional Comprehensive Genetic Centers The goals of the ODH Regional Comprehensive Genetics Centers (RCGC) Program are to assure that: 1. Children and adults with or at risk for birth defects or genetic disorders, and their families, receive quality, comprehensive genetics services that are available, accessible and culturally sensitive, and 2. The general public and professionals/providers are aware and knowledgeable about birth defects, genetic conditions and genetic disease related services in Ohio. To accomplish the above goals, the ODH funds a regional network of eight genetic centers and 22 outreach clinics that provides comprehensive care and services to people affected with, or at risk for genetic-related disorders. Persons in Ohio who would like genetic counseling, or other genetic treatment services, may contact one of the regional centers, or may be referred by their primary care physician. GeneTests, is a publicly-funded, medical genetics information resource that has a searchable clinical directory for all states, type of service, and specialty clinic.
