Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab is delighted to welcome Dr. Pallavi Sinha, DrNB Medical Genetics, MD Pediatrics — Clinical Geneticist at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi — to its panel of specialists.

Dr. Pallavi Sinha brings to Genetidoc a clinical background that is genuinely distinctive within the panel: a pediatric intensivist who became a clinical geneticist. That combination — acute critical care and specialist-level genomics — shapes both who she sees and how she sees them, and makes her particularly well equipped for the most complex end of rare genetic disease management.

The Intensivist Who Became a Geneticist

Most pediatric geneticists come to the specialty from outpatient clinical medicine. Dr. Sinha’s route was different. Her foundation in Pediatrics was built in the intensive care unit — a setting where diagnostic speed matters, where genetic presentations can be acute and life-threatening, and where the ability to hold clinical complexity under pressure is not optional.

That background did not leave her when she moved into genetics. It became an asset. When a child with a suspected metabolic disorder presents in metabolic crisis, or when a rare genetic syndrome manifests as a multi-organ emergency, the geneticist who has managed acutely unwell children in an intensive care environment brings a different kind of clinical composure to the room — and a different kind of usefulness to the multidisciplinary team around her.

Now practising as a Clinical Geneticist at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi — one of India’s most respected private tertiary care institutions, with a dedicated Department of Medical Genetics and Genomics — Dr. Sinha applies that background to the full spectrum of genetic medicine, from rare syndromic conditions in children to hereditary cancer risk assessment and complex prenatal counseling.

A Specialist in Immunogenetics — A Rare Focus

Among Dr. Sinha’s areas of specialisation, one stands apart from the standard genetics repertoire: immunogenetics — the genetic basis of immune system disorders and primary immunodeficiencies.

Primary immunodeficiencies are a group of inherited conditions in which the immune system fails to develop or function correctly. Many are caused by single-gene mutations that alter specific immune pathways. They are frequently underdiagnosed — presenting as recurrent infections, unusual pathogens, or infections that fail to resolve with standard treatment — and the diagnostic pathway, without a genetics specialist who understands the molecular basis of immune dysfunction, is often long and circuitous.

Dr. Sinha’s specialist interest in immunogenetics fills a gap that most genetics panels, including Genetidoc’s, do not explicitly cover. For families dealing with a child who has recurrent or unusual infections and no clear immunological diagnosis, her clinical focus in this area makes her a particularly valuable resource.

Areas of Specialisation

Immunogenetics and Primary Immunodeficiencies Specialist evaluation of the genetic basis of immune system disorders — identifying the molecular cause of primary immunodeficiencies that present as recurrent, unusual, or refractory infections.

Inborn Errors of Metabolism Diagnosis and acute management of metabolic crises — her intensive care background giving her a clinical advantage in the most urgent presentations of biochemical genetic disorders.

Neurogenetics and Skeletal Dysplasia Expert evaluation of hereditary neurological conditions and rare bone growth disorders, applying systematic clinical and molecular assessment to diagnostically complex cases.

Prenatal Genetics Counseling and diagnostic clarity for high-risk pregnancies and fetal anomalies — supporting families through consequential decisions with clinical precision and genuine care.

Oncogenetics Risk assessment and interpretation for hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes — helping families understand their inherited cancer risk and navigate surveillance and management options.

Clinical Dysmorphology Systematic phenotypic assessment to identify rare syndromes and solve complex diagnostic puzzles that have resisted earlier clinical workup.

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital — and Now Online, Nationwide

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital’s Department of Medical Genetics and Genomics is one of the few dedicated genetics departments in Delhi’s private hospital sector. Dr. Sinha’s practice there places her within a clinical environment that sees some of North India’s most complex referrals.

Through Genetidoc, her expertise is available online to families anywhere in India — in Hindi, English, Bengali, and Marathi — without the need to travel to Delhi or navigate a tertiary centre referral pathway. For families dealing with primary immunodeficiencies in particular, where specialist genetics input is rare and often unavailable outside major metros, her online availability through the platform is a meaningful step forward.

If genetic testing is needed, Genetidoc arranges sample collection from the patient’s home or nearest clinic, with processing at National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories and College of American Pathologists accredited partner laboratories.
