About Dr. Lekshmi S. Nair

Dr. Lekshmi S. Nair is a Clinical Geneticist and Pediatrician currently practising at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Scotland — one of the UK's major regional genetics centres — and independently consulting at NIMS Medicity, Trivandrum. She holds a DrNB in Medical Genetics and a DNB in Pediatrics, and brings a genuinely international clinical perspective to the Genetidoc panel. Her credentials reflect training and recognition across two healthcare systems. She holds the ECMGG — European Certificate in Medical Genetics and Genomics, awarded in 2022 — one of the few Indian-trained geneticists to hold this qualification, which represents a formal standard of competence set by the European Board of Medical Genetics. She is also a Member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (MRCPCH), UK — a credential that situates her clinical practice within the rigorous standards of the British healthcare system. Beyond her clinical work, she is actively engaged in research in epigenetics — the study of how environmental factors and behaviours influence gene expression — an area of growing clinical relevance that bridges molecular biology and real-world patient outcomes.

Areas of Expertise

Clinical Dysmorphology Expert evaluation of physical and phenotypic markers to identify and manage rare congenital syndromes — the careful clinical assessment that forms the foundation of a strong genetic workup and guides the choice of molecular testing. Neurogenetics Specialised diagnosis and counselling for hereditary neurological conditions and neurodevelopmental disorders — combining her paediatric background with genetics training to evaluate complex presentations across childhood and beyond. Paediatric Genetics Comprehensive management of genetic disorders manifesting in infancy and childhood — from initial diagnostic evaluation through to long-term family counselling and care planning. Genomic Counselling Evidence-based guidance for families navigating complex genetic diagnoses — translating findings from genomic reports into decisions families can understand, act on, and live with. Epigenetics Research Active academic and clinical interest in the mechanisms of gene regulation and their impact on human health — an emerging area that is beginning to reshape how we understand the relationship between genetics and environment in disease.
