About Dr. Devi Saranya S
Dr. Devi Saranya S is a Consultant Clinical and Metabolic Geneticist and Head of the Department of Medical Genetics at Rajagiri Hospital, Aluva, Kochi. Trained at the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, where she completed both her MD in Pediatrics and DM in Medical Genetics, she combines advanced genomic medicine with comprehensive patient-centred care.
She additionally holds the internationally recognised MRCPCH (UK) qualification and has completed advanced training in Cancer Genetics through Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Saranya’s practice spans the entire spectrum of genetic medicine—from newborns with rare genetic and metabolic disorders to adults with hereditary cancer syndromes and complex inherited conditions. She is particularly recognised for establishing structured care pathways for rare diseases, helping families navigate the journey from diagnosis to long-term management with clarity and confidence.
She has a special interest in the diagnosis and management of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM), integrating genomic diagnostics, biochemical evaluation, dietary therapy, metabolic emergency planning, and lifelong follow-up. Her approach focuses not only on identifying the underlying genetic cause but also on optimising outcomes through personalised treatment plans and multidisciplinary care.
In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Saranya is associated with Haystack Analytics, Navi Mumbai, where she contributes to genomic diagnostics and interpretation of advanced sequencing-based genetic tests.
With expertise in clinical genetics, metabolic medicine, biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, and next-generation sequencing technologies, she is committed to translating complex genetic information into practical and actionable healthcare decisions for patients and families.
Areas of Expertise
Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM) and Metabolic Nutrition
Comprehensive diagnosis and long-term management of inherited metabolic disorders, including amino acid disorders, organic acidemias, fatty acid oxidation disorders, urea cycle disorders, mitochondrial diseases, glycogen storage disorders, lysosomal storage disorders, and congenital disorders of glycosylation. Expertise in dietary management, nutritional optimisation, biochemical monitoring, metabolic crisis prevention, emergency protocols, and lifelong follow-up.
Newborn Screening and Preventive Genetics
Active advocacy and implementation of expanded newborn screening programmes, enabling early diagnosis and timely intervention for treatable genetic disorders before irreversible complications develop.
Hereditary Cancer and Cancer Genetics
Genetic risk assessment, predictive testing, family screening, and surveillance planning for hereditary cancer syndromes, including BRCA-associated cancers, Lynch syndrome, hereditary endocrine tumour syndromes, and other inherited cancer predisposition disorders.
Neurogenetics
Evaluation of developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, movement disorders, and complex neurological syndromes with suspected genetic causes.
Skeletal Dysplasia and Rare Genetic Disorders
Clinical and molecular evaluation of skeletal dysplasias, growth disorders, congenital anomalies, dysmorphic syndromes, and multisystem rare genetic conditions.
Prenatal, Reproductive, and Family Genetics
Preconception counselling, carrier screening, recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation, prenatal diagnosis, fetal anomaly assessment, and counselling regarding inheritance patterns, recurrence risks, and reproductive options.
Adult Genetics
Assessment and management of hereditary cancer syndromes, inherited cardiovascular disorders, connective tissue disorders, neurogenetic conditions, and other adult-onset genetic diseases requiring specialised genomic evaluation.
Advanced Genomic Diagnostics
Integration and interpretation of whole exome sequencing (WES), whole genome sequencing (WGS), chromosomal microarray, cytogenetics, biochemical genetics, and targeted molecular testing to achieve accurate diagnoses and guide personalised management.
Special Interest: Metabolic Genetics and Dietary Management
Dr. Saranya has a particular interest in the comprehensive management of Inborn Errors of Metabolism. She works closely with families to develop personalised treatment plans that integrate medical therapy, specialised nutritional management, metabolic emergency preparedness, and long-term monitoring.
Her areas of expertise include:
• Amino acid disorders (MSUD, PKU, Homocystinuria)
• Organic acidemias
• Fatty acid oxidation disorders
• Urea cycle disorders
• Mitochondrial disorders
• Glycogen storage disorders
• Lysosomal storage disorders
• Congenital disorders of glycosylation
• Follow-up and management of conditions identified through newborn screening
She strongly advocates for early diagnosis through expanded newborn screening, recognising that timely dietary and medical intervention can prevent irreversible neurological and systemic complications in many metabolic disorders.
Why Consult Dr. Saranya Through Genetidoc?
Genetic disorders often require highly specialised expertise that may not be readily accessible outside major metropolitan centres. Through Genetidoc, Dr. Saranya provides expert genetic consultations to patients and families across Kerala and throughout India, bringing tertiary-care genetics expertise directly to their homes.
Patients receive comprehensive genetic evaluation, personalised counselling, guidance regarding appropriate testing, interpretation of genetic results, and support in understanding the implications of a diagnosis for both the individual and their family.
When genetic testing is recommended, Genetidoc facilitates seamless sample collection from the patient’s home or nearby collection centre, with testing performed through accredited NABL and CAP-accredited partner laboratories.
Whether the concern involves a child with developmental delay, an inherited metabolic disorder, a family history of cancer, reproductive planning, a rare undiagnosed condition, or a complex multisystem genetic disease, Dr. Saranya provides evidence-based, compassionate, and personalised genetic care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Why This Matters for Patients
Rare diseases and metabolic conditions carry a particular burden in India — long diagnostic delays, limited specialist access, and care pathways that often fall apart after an initial diagnosis. Dr. Saranya’s clinical emphasis on structured, long-term care is precisely what these families need, and precisely what Genetidoc is designed to deliver.
Her joining strengthens Genetidoc’s capacity in three critical areas: metabolic genetics, hereditary cancer, and the Kerala patient base — making this a meaningful addition for the platform and for the patients it serves.
