A paragraph describing the group

Our knowledge of mankind’s hereditary characteristics is growing at a tremendous pace. As a result we are becoming more and more successful at tracking down the causes of congenital defects and hereditary diseases.

The Department of Clinical Genetics at the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) strives to apply all of this new knowledge as quickly and well as possible in medical practice. Through close collaboration with the Department of Human Genetics at the Center for Human and Clinical Genetics (CHCG) we are able to speedily put into practice the very latest developments in the diagnosis of hereditary diseases.
