Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding
your genetics.

What is DNA?
DNA is the hereditary material carried by an individual. This DNA resides in every cell of the individual's body and encodes all the information needed for life.
What is a gene?
A gene is the functional unit of an individual's DNA. There are about 22,000โ€“25,000 coding genes in the human DNA. These genes code for important proteins that help as building blocks for growth, development, reproduction, and body metabolism.
Who is a Clinical Geneticist?
A Clinical Geneticist is a trained professional who evaluates patients or their families for possible hereditary diseases, analyzes clinical history, elicits a complete family tree, formulates treatment plans, and helps understand the risk to other family members.
Are these disorders very rare?
Individually they may be rare (<1:2000 per EU definition), but as a group, nearly one in every 13 persons will live with a rare disease at some point in their life. India shares nearly one-fourth of the world's rare disease burden โ€” approximately 9โ€“10 crore individuals.

Patient Stories

Trust earned through
care and compassion.

We had visited Dr Bajaj for genetic evaluation and genetic counseling, because our child has autism. We did not want a recurrence in our family. Dr Bajaj was very helpful. She did not ask for unnecessary tests. She explained to us in very simple language. She helped us find positivity in the different situations faced by us.

Patient's Family

Being affected by a kidney ailment can be the worst nightmare for those who suffer from it. It not only affects the patient but shakes up the entire family. In the era where awareness about diseases is increasing, the role of a geneticist is increasingly important โ€” and Dr Bajaj fills that role exceptionally.
