Pediatric Genetics specializes in diagnosing and treating genetic birth defects, hereditary problems, and rare metabolic disorders.  This Pediatrics section is the only source in North America with the ability to assay for Trimethylamine, the metabolic state referred to as Fish Odor Syndrome.

Physicians, board certified in Pediatrics, Clinical Genetics, and Clinical Biochemical Genetics, and their team of genetic counselor and nurse specialist, treat patients from Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.  Physicians; social workers; and physical, speech, and occupational therapists throughout Arkansas rely on Genetics as a source for diagnoses and continuing medical education.
