Brain Development and Genetics Clinic (BrDG)

The Brain Development and Genetics (BrDG) Clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital unites a multi-disciplinary team to bridge the specialties of neurology, genetics, cardiology, and radiology in order to provide comprehensive clinical care for individuals with developmental brain disorders. Utilizing this multi-disciplinary approach, we work to optimize the diagnosis, management, and counseling of our patients.

Diagnosis of rare brain conditions can be especially complex and challenging for families. Our patients have a wide range of disorders of brain development that can be associated with a spectrum of neurological and non-neurological symptoms. Our team can help families understand these diagnoses, as well as provide access to supporting resources and relevant research studies. Read more about the Boston Children’s Hospital BrDG Clinic >.
