 Cardiovascular Genetics Clinic 

The Cardiovascular Genetics Clinic was established in 1996 as a team effort between the Division of Cardiology and the Department of Molecular & Human Genetics to serve patients and families with familial disorder of cardiac muscle and conduction, and children with extra cardiac anomalies associated with their heart disease. Additionally, individuals and families with vascular disorders such as Marfan syndrome and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome are served by this clinic. The clinic is staffed by Board Certified Pediatric Cardiologists and Board Certified Medical Geneticists. The clinic is co directed by Dr. Jeffrey Towbin and Dr. John Belmont. The clinic meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, in the Cardiology suite in the West Tower at Texas Children's Hospital. Clinic operation hours are from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
