BMC’s Genetic Services provides consultation, genetic counseling, and genetic testing to screen for, confirm, or identify genetic conditions that may affect your health or that of your family. We then coordinate with your care team to help you manage your condition or your child’s condition to optimize management and care. We offer care for children and adults with possible/known inherited genetic conditions, people with a personal or family history of cancer, those pregnant or planning a pregnancy, as well as people with genetic forms of cardiac disease. ### Genetic Services - [Specialty Clinics](#specialty-clinics) - [Diagnostic Molecular Genetics Laboratory Services](#diagnostic-molecular-genetics-laboratory-services) - [Residency and Fellowship Information](#residency-and-fellowship-information) ## Specialty Clinics [### Amyloidosis Center An internationally renowned center within the Department of Kidney Medicine providing amyloidosis treatment, including diagnosis and care to manage this complex condition and its effects on the kidneys and other organs. ](/departments/kidney-medicine/amyloidosis-center) [### Pediatric Genetics A program within Genetic Services providing DNA testing during pregnancy, including evaluation and counseling to diagnose genetic conditions, assess inherited risks, and guide care for children and families. ](/departments/genetic-services/pediatric-genetics) ## Diagnostic Molecular Genetics Laboratory Services Tom Maher, MS — Laboratory Manager of Diagnostic Molecular Genetics / [617.414.5312](tel:617.414.5312) ##### Tissue-Based Diagnostic Molecular Pathology (DMP) Michael O’Brien, MD — Chief of Anatomic Pathology Shi Yang, MD, Scientific Director [Tissue-Based DMP Laboratory Requisition Form (PDF)](/sites/default/files/Patient_Care/Specialty_Care/Diagnostic_Genetic_Services/field_Attachments/Diagnostic-Genetics-Requisition.pdf "BMC Tissue-Based DMP Requisition Form (PDF)") ##### Microbiology Molecular Diagnostics Nancy Miller, MD — Medical Director of Microbiology [Nancy.Miller@bmc.org](mailto:nancy.miller@bmc.org) Chris Andry, PhD — Administrative Director and Vice Chair of Pathology Operations & Management [Chris.Andry@bmc.org](mailto:chris.andry@bmc.org) Neil O’Neill — Senior Manager of Laboratory Medicine Operations [Neil.ONeill@bmc.org](mailto:neil.oneill@bmc.org) / [617.414.4737](tel:617.414.4737) All molecular genetics testing at BMC should be processed via the BMC Laboratory.
