Biochemical Genetics Clinic

Director: Dr. Gregory Rice
Coordinator: Sandy van Calcar, RD, MS
The Biochemical Genetics Clinic serves people who have suspected or known hereditary metabolic disease, especially aminoacidopathies (such as phenylketonuria or PKU), organic acidemias, and defects of fatty acid metabolism. Professionals in pediatrics, nutrition, genetic counseling, and nursing provide initial diagnostic/confirmatory services and longitudinal care. Follow–through is also provided to clients who require careful nutritional supervision. The clinic staff works closely with the Wisconsin Newborn Screening Program as well as staff from other disciplines in the Clinical Services Unit of the Waisman Center and UW Hospital and clinics.
