On a daily basis, the Department of Medical Genetics receives numerous referrals from national and international clinics on a wide variety of genetic diseases.  These cases are directed to indicative specialized tests to secure a diagnosis.  With the determination of a final diagnosis, the Department of Medical Genetics staff guides the genetic counseling that is provided to families and, when required, enables the opportunity for families to obtain a prenatal diagnosis.  Some students from other medical faculties throughout the Republic of Turkey perform a portion of their rotations in the Department of Medical Genetics at Istanbul University.

 

The Molecular Genetics Laboratory within the Department of Medical Genetics at Istanbul University is one of only a handful of laboratories in the Republic of Turkey with the capability to perform post- and pre-natal genetic diagnosis.  Research projects focused on the identification of new genes related to rare genetic syndromes, as well as disease-causing mutations, is also undertaken at the Molecular Genetics Laboratory.  A particular emphasis of study is an ongoing investigation considering new causative genes related to mental retardation.
