About Dr. Pallavi Sinha

Dr. Pallavi Sinha is a Clinical Geneticist who independently consults at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi — one of India's foremost private tertiary care centres, home to a dedicated Department of Medical Genetics and Genomics. She holds a DrNB in Medical Genetics and an MD in Pediatrics, bringing to clinical genetics a foundation that is distinctly different from the standard training pathway. Before specialising in genetics, Dr. Sinha trained and practised in the pediatric intensive care unit — an environment that demands clinical speed, diagnostic clarity under pressure, and the ability to manage complex multi-system illness in acutely unwell children. That background did not leave her when she entered genetics. When a child presents in metabolic crisis, or a rare genetic syndrome manifests as a multi-organ emergency, her experience in critical care settings gives her a clinical composure and practical orientation that shapes her approach to even the most diagnostically complex cases. Her scope of practice covers the full spectrum of medical genetics — from rare syndromic conditions in children and hereditary cancer risk assessment to complex prenatal counselling. Among her areas of specialisation, immunogenetics stands apart: the genetic basis of primary immunodeficiencies is a focus that few genetics specialists in India cover explicitly, and one that addresses a significant diagnostic gap for families dealing with recurrent or unexplained infections in their children.

Areas of Expertise

Immunogenetics and Primary Immunodeficiencies Dr. Sinha has a specialist interest in the genetic basis of immune system disorders — evaluating and diagnosing primary immunodeficiencies that present as recurrent, unusual, or treatment-refractory infections. This is a rare clinical focus within genetics practice, and one of particular value for families who have seen multiple specialists without receiving a molecular diagnosis. Inborn Errors of Metabolism Her intensive care background gives her a clinical edge in the most acute presentations of metabolic disorders. She provides expert diagnosis and management across the full spectrum of biochemical genetic conditions, from neonatal emergencies to chronic metabolic disease.Neurogenetics and Skeletal Dysplasia Dr. Sinha applies systematic clinical and molecular assessment to hereditary neurological conditions and rare bone growth disorders — conditions that frequently require specialist-level genetics input to reach a diagnosis and to counsel families accurately on recurrence risk and prognosis.Prenatal Genetics She provides counselling and diagnostic guidance for high-risk pregnancies and fetal anomalies, supporting families through consequential decisions with both clinical precision and genuine care. Oncogenetics Dr. Sinha evaluates hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes, helping individuals and families understand their inherited cancer risk and navigate surveillance and management pathways. Clinical Dysmorphology Systematic phenotypic assessment to identify rare syndromes and resolve complex diagnostic presentations that have resisted earlier clinical workup — a foundational skill that remains essential even in the era of genomic sequencing.

Why Consult Dr. Pallavi Sinha Through Genetidoc?

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital's Department of Medical Genetics and Genomics is among the few dedicated genetics departments in Delhi's private hospital sector, and sees some of North India's most clinically complex referrals. Accessing that level of expertise typically requires navigating a tertiary centre referral pathway — or travelling to Delhi. Through Genetidoc, Dr. Sinha's practice is available online to families anywhere in India, in Hindi, English, Bengali, and Marathi. For families in smaller cities and towns dealing with primary immunodeficiencies, rare metabolic disorders, or complex genetic syndromes — where specialist genetics input is often unavailable locally — her online availability removes a real barrier to care. If genetic testing is required, Genetidoc arranges home sample collection with processing at NABL and CAP accredited partner laboratories.
