Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab is pleased to welcome Dr. Ravneet Kaur, DM Medical Genetics, MD Pediatrics — Clinical Geneticist and Pediatrician at Fortis Hospital, Mohali — to its panel of specialists.
Dr. Ravneet Kaur joins Genetidoc from the Tricity region — Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula — one of North India’s major urban centres and a region that has, until recently, had very limited access to qualified genetics specialists. Her addition deepens the platform’s coverage of North India and strengthens its capacity in two areas where specialist genetics input makes the greatest clinical difference: precision oncology and inborn errors of metabolism.
Genetics in the Tricity — Filling a Real Gap
The Tricity region is home to several million people, anchored by Chandigarh — a city with strong healthcare infrastructure, major government hospitals, and a population that is increasingly aware of and seeking specialist medical care. Yet for families in this region who needed a genetics consultation, access has historically meant either long waiting times at PGIMER or travelling to Delhi.
Dr. Ravneet Kaur chose to be the answer to that gap. Building her practice at Fortis Hospital, Mohali, she has become one of the few qualified Clinical Geneticists serving the Tricity and its surrounding catchment — Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, and the districts of Punjab that fall outside the cities.
Her joining Genetidoc extends that reach further still — making her expertise available online to families across North India who need a genetics consultation but have no local specialist to turn to.
Precision Oncology — Genetics at the Heart of Cancer Care
One of Dr. Kaur’s primary clinical focuses is precision oncology — the use of genetic data to guide targeted cancer therapies and personalised management strategies.
This is a field that sits at the intersection of medical genetics and oncology, and it is one where the involvement of a qualified clinical geneticist makes a measurable difference. The identification of hereditary cancer syndromes — BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, Lynch syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome — has direct implications not just for the patient undergoing treatment, but for every first-degree relative who carries the same risk. A genetics consultation in the oncology setting is not a luxury add-on; it is the step that determines whether a family member gets screened before cancer appears rather than after.
Dr. Kaur’s training in medical genetics gives her the tools to interpret somatic and germline genomic findings, counsel families about their hereditary risk, and work with oncology teams to integrate genetic insights into treatment decisions — all within a clinical framework that goes well beyond the standard referral pathway.
Inborn Errors of Metabolism — The Long Game
Dr. Kaur’s other area of deep clinical focus is inborn errors of metabolism — the group of inherited biochemical disorders where a missing or dysfunctional enzyme disrupts a metabolic pathway, with consequences that can range from acute, life-threatening crises to chronic, lifelong disability.
Managing these conditions well requires more than a correct diagnosis. It requires a sustained clinical relationship — one that tracks the patient’s metabolic control across years, adjusts dietary management as the child grows and their needs change, responds to acute episodes, and prepares the family for the transitions that come with age. Dr. Kaur’s approach to IEM is built around exactly this kind of longitudinal care — not a single consultation that ends with a report, but an ongoing clinical partnership.
For families in North India managing a child with PKU, MSUD, organic acidaemias, fatty acid oxidation disorders, or any of the dozens of other metabolic conditions that fall under the IEM umbrella, her availability through Genetidoc is a meaningful resource.
Areas of Specialisation
Precision Oncology Genetic risk assessment and genomic interpretation for hereditary cancer syndromes — integrating germline and somatic findings into personalised surveillance and treatment strategies for patients and their families.
Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM) Specialist diagnosis, nutritional management, and longitudinal care for biochemical genetic disorders — from newborn presentations requiring urgent metabolic intervention to chronic conditions needing sustained, structured clinical oversight.
Clinical Dysmorphology Expert phenotypic evaluation to identify rare congenital syndromes and Mendelian disorders — the careful clinical foundation that shapes the direction of genomic testing.
Prenatal Genetics Diagnostic clarity and counselling for fetal anomalies and high-risk pregnancies — supporting families through decisions that carry both clinical complexity and significant emotional weight.
Neurogenetics and Skeletal Dysplasia Comprehensive evaluation of hereditary neurological conditions and rare bone growth disorders — areas where a genetics consultation is frequently the turning point in a long diagnostic journey.
Tricity, and the North India Catchment
Dr. Kaur’s in-person practice at Fortis Hospital, Mohali, serves patients from across the Tricity and the wider North Indian catchment that looks to this region for specialist care. She consults in Hindi, Punjabi, and English — covering the primary languages of Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh — making her one of the most accessible North Indian genetics specialists on the Genetidoc panel.
Through the platform, families in smaller cities and rural districts across this catchment — who have no local geneticist and for whom a trip to Chandigarh or Delhi is a significant undertaking — can now access her expertise online, by appointment, from wherever they are.
About Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab
Genetidoc is India’s largest network of online genetics specialists, founded by Dr. Roshan Daniel — Clinical Geneticist and Head of the Medical Genetics Department at KIMSHealth, Trivandrum. The platform connects patients and families across India with qualified genetics doctors for consultations, counselling, and DNA testing guidance — making expert genetic care accessible, affordable, and personal.
