Published Papers

Our primary goal will always be finding effective, affordable treatments for our patients, and we conduct research to that end. However, over the years, we have also worked to share our methods and discoveries with the broader scientific community. In the 30 years since its founding, Clinic staff have published more than 110 peer-reviewed research papers, fueled by close internal collaboration between clinical and laboratory staff and effective cooperation with academic, scientific, and clinical partners.

Help us to continue to provide patients with timely, affordable and effective care!

Our clinic serves as a trusted medical home for families working to prevent and treat genetic illness in their children. Serving predominantly Amish and Mennonite families, the sturdy, timber-framed building was "raised" by the hands of those in the Anabaptist community outside of Strasburg, PA. Inside the clinic is filled with an array of high-tech gene sequencing that allows us to deliver state of the art care in a nurturing environment.
