Rare Disorders Clinic
Children’s Minnesota offers a rare disorders clinic for children with an undiagnosed condition. Each month we bring together a multidisciplinary team of experts to review a child’s medical record to help determine what additional tests might be recommended to find a diagnosis and treatment options. Often times, families have been on a diagnostic odyssey going from one specialist to another without an answer.
Metabolic and Newborn Screening Clinic
The majority of newborns in the state with abnormal blood spot screen results are seen at the Metabolic and Newborn Screening Follow-up Program at Children’s Minnesota. The Metabolic and Newborn Screening Follow-up Program offers initial confirmatory evaluations and follow-up care for children whose blood spot screens are abnormal or have a presumed or confirmed inborn error of metabolism. Our team of experts includes biochemical geneticists who specialize in metabolic disorders, genetic counselors, a nurse and a metabolic dietician.
