MicroGen Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the digestive system. This includes organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and esophagus. Many of these conditions have a genetic component, and recent advancements have allowed for the identification of specific genes linked to these diseases. Genetic testing is now available to diagnose affected individuals and identify at-risk family members before symptoms develop.
