🧬 Genetics in Pregnancy, Rare Diseases and Cancer

🌟 Had a wonderful experience being part of the CME on Neurogenetics at MS Ramaiah University! 🌟

I was invited as faculty to speak on the approach to genetic testing in neurology and its limitations. We had a lively session with plenty of real-world case discussions that showed how choosing the right test and careful interpretation can make all the difference for patients. The audience was especially engaged when we spoke about the challenges and boundaries of genetic testing — a reminder that genetics is as much about critical thinking as it is about technology.

A big thank you to Dr. Prabhudev Hiremath and the entire Department of Neurology for the kind invite 🙏. Also grateful to fellow speakers Dr. Preetha, Dr. Kuna Kalra, Dr. Shridhar Joshi, and Dr. Neerja Reddy for their excellent talks. Excited for more collaborations ahead! 💫

🌟 Resolving VUS - Honored to Speak at PGIMER Chandigarh on Variant Interpretation in Genomics! 🌟
It was a privilege to be a faculty at the recent CME cum workshop on Genomic Variant Interpretation in Clinical Practice, organized by my alma mater, PGIMER Chandigarh, on March 1-2, 2025.
The sessions focused on ACMG criteria for variant classification, with a special emphasis on the persistent challenge of Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS). My talk specifically explored how literature reviews can aid in reclassifying VUS, helping clinicians make more informed decisions.
A section on the use of AI for literature search sparked a fascinating debate — some were in awe of its potential, while others voiced valid concerns. This highlights the need for judicious use of AI: not as a replacement, but as a tool to empower doctors, ensuring decisions are guided by expertise, not algorithms alone.
The global challenge of resolving VUS was evident from the discussions with international faculty. Moving forward, more research, scalable functional studies, stronger collaboration between research groups, and better data sharing through public databases are crucial to making progress.

Reproductive genetics

Genetic Diseases in children

If your child is experiencing unexplained developmental delays, autism, seizures, or appears different from other children, genetic testing may provide insight. Additionally, conditions such as recurrent infections, short stature, heart or kidney problems, and vision or hearing issues could also have a genetic basis. Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Center has experts dealing with such cases.

Hereditary Cancers

If there is a history of cancer in several family members, multiple cancers in the same individual, rare types of cancer, or cancers diagnosed at a young age, you or your family may be at an increased risk for hereditary forms of cancer, and can take an appointment with Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab to get tested for it.

Family Planning

Infertility and recurrent abortions can be due to genetic causes. If you are married within the same family (cousin marriage, uncle-niece marriage etc) you can get genetic testing done to avoid risk of certain type of genetic diseases in your children. You can consult Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab in case of such concerns.

Preventive & Wellness Genomics

Genetic testing can help identify tailor made solutions for your genetic make up – like which medicines are better suited for you, how likely you are to develop certain diseases etc. You can consult Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab for a Genetic Counselling session, to discuss how such tests can help you.

Genetic Diseases in Adults

Genetic conditions can affect adults also. If there are unexplained neurological problems, muscle weakness, kidney, heart or liver problems, or family history of multiple members having similar issues, you can consult Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab, since you might need a genetic testing.

Dr Roshan Daniel, Founder

MBBS, MD Pediatrics, DM Medical Genetics, ECMGG (European Board Certified)
Post Graduate Diploma in Precision Oncology.
Clinical Geneticist and Head, Medical Genetics Department, KIMSHealth, Trivandrum
Medical Genetics Faculty, Doctutorials Medical Coaching Centre

Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab was founded by Dr. Roshan Daniel with a vision to make reliable, high-quality genetic consultation and testing accessible across India. While the center has been established recently, the expertise behind it is built on years of dedicated clinical experience. The team has been actively working in the field of medical genetics for over 5 years, collectively handling more than 10,000 cases across a wide spectrum of genetic conditions.

Dr. Roshan Daniel is one of the leading medical geneticists in the country, based in Trivandrum, Kerala, and among the few qualified specialists in this field in the state. He completed his MBBS from Government Medical College, Trivandrum, followed by MD in Pediatrics and DM in Medical Genetics from PGIMER, Chandigarh. He is one of the few European Board Certified Geneticists in India and the only one with a Postgraduate Diploma in Precision Oncology.

Currently heading the Department of Medical Genetics at KIMSHealth, he established Kerala’s first Rare Disease Clinic in the private sector and the state’s first Comprehensive Oncogenetics Clinic. He leads a team managing one of the country’s top hospital-based genomics laboratories, offering advanced technologies including NGS, MLPA, Sanger sequencing, RT-PCR, karyotyping, and FISH.

The foundation of Genetidoc was driven by an important gap observed in the current genetic testing landscape. Many laboratories focus on low-cost testing that may result in incomplete analysis, ambiguous reports, and lack of proper clinical interpretation. In several cases, reports are not reviewed by qualified genetic specialists, leading to confusion and potentially inappropriate clinical decisions.

At Genetidoc, all consultations and reporting are handled exclusively by qualified genetic doctors, and testing is conducted through leading NABL and CAP-accredited laboratories to ensure the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. Every report is supported by detailed in-house analysis, with a strong emphasis on helping patients clearly understand their results and take appropriate, informed decisions through comprehensive genetic counselling.

Dr. Roshan Daniel has authored multiple publications in reputed international journals and contributed a chapter on the genetics of developmental delay in children. His research on congenital anomalies in unborn babies highlights his expertise in reproductive genetics. He is also a recognized expert in hereditary cancers and precision oncology, actively leading Molecular Tumor Boards at the KIMSHealth Cancer Centre.

” Our newborn was suspected to have biotinidase deficiency through newborn screening. The initial doctor was uncertain about what to do, but Dr. Roshan knew exactly how to proceed. He ran further tests to confirm that our baby was actually affected. He started our baby on biotin immediately, and thanks to his swift action and clear guidance, our child is perfectly healthy today. Dr. Roshan’s expertise and confidence in managing such a rare condition made all the difference for our family. “

” As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, I was terrified when I came to Dr. Roshan. My family has a history of breast and ovarian cancers, and I wanted to know my risk. Dr. Roshan recommended testing my mother first, which revealed a genetic mutation. Testing confirmed I had inherited it too. Thanks to Dr. Roshan’s meticulous approach, I’ve been on a surveillance plan, catching potential risks early. His expertise and patient-centered care gave me the tools to protect my future. “

” We came to Dr. Roshan after an abnormal ultrasound marker in our twin pregnancy. We were struggling to make sense of the risks. Dr. Roshan was incredibly empathetic and guided us through every step with clarity and compassion. After invasive testing, we discovered that one twin was affected with a condition called Down Syndrome. Through expert counseling, we made the  decision for selective reduction and saved the healthy baby. Today, our baby is thriving, and we owe it to Dr. Roshan’s expertise and emotional support during this challenging time. ”
