 | Welcome  6720, Szeged Somogyi B. utca 4 Chairman: Prof. Dr. János Szabó The Department is a diagnostic, treatment and research facility specialized in hereditary and acquired disorders of the human genome, and in diagnostics, prevention and treatment of pathologies associated with genetic disorders. MThe scope of our patient care activities includes the recognition of both the discrepancies leading to abnormalities of the genome and the developing pathologic processes, as well as the early identification of individuals and families at risk, and upon the identification of the genetic defect the preventive care of the affected family members, prevention of mental and physical retardation of those born with genetic disorders in addition to the rehabilitation of such patients. The institute takes part in both graduate and postgarduate educational programs as well as in national and international collaborations. The department is unique since the recognition and diagnosis of genetic disorders take place in the same facility as the early rehabilitation of patients with hereditary diseases. The department has an up to date laboratory specialized in molecular testing at the chromosome and gene level. The laboratory accepts samples of local, national and international origin as well. Our genetic counseling facility, in addition to phenotypic diagnosis of genetic disorders, is specialized in both common and rare illnesses. The habilitation and rehabilitation background for early developmental possibilities is supported by our experts on developmental neurology, rehabilitation, psychology and physiotherapy. . The department conducts active research with national and international collaborations and funding, the publication activity of our faculty and staff is significant. Our Ph.D. programme welcomes freshly graduated phisicians, biologists and individual candidates as well.

Down Syndrome's Symposium Szeged, 16-17 May 2008 The 7 th Down syndrome's symposium Starting in 1997 six “Down symposiums” have been organized in Szeged by the Department of Medical Genetics of the Faculty of General Medicine of the University of Szeged with the assistance of the Szeged Foundation for the Prevention and Treatment of Fetal Genetic Disorders. From this year the Foundation will be the main organizer. The 7th Down Syndrome Symposium will be organized in 16–17 May, 2008. The aim of the symposium is to meet national and international experts in order to discuss and harmonize the recent knowledge and practical duties concerning Down syndrome. Stimulating the international participation the official language will be English and Hungarian. In the second day of the Symposium a training course will be held entitled “11–14 weeks scan” and lectured by internationally recognized people. On the occasion of the 10th year jubilee the “Down issue” gets new drive. Beyond summation we prepare the near, mid and long term proposals. Screening-, early developmental, “telling you the truth” protocols and ethical guidelines (written and digital) will be launched. Szeged is the town of sunshine and we happily welcome you to spend fruitful time.For futher information:http://www.medgen.co.nr VII.
