Genetic Counseling and Testing at Ohio State
The Division of Human Genetics, in the Department of Internal Medicine, offers outpatient and inpatient consultation services, performs clinical genetic testing and translational research and participates in community education and outreach. Our physicians and genetic counseling faculty collaborate with colleagues throughout our medical center and around the world. Whether originating from a single gene or more complex patterns, inherited disorders encompass a broad span of conditions, Ohio State's Division of Human Genetics is a leader in providing the most up-to-date, thorough and advanced information available. Genetic testing can be provided on a clinical or research basis. Genetic testing is routinely performed on a small sample of blood or saliva. Most insurance companies now cover the costs of a genetic consultation and genetic testing. There are also low cost options for those without insurance.
