Print Departments and specialties Mayo Clinic has one of the largest and most experienced practices in the United States, with campuses in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota. Staff skilled in dozens of specialties work together to ensure quality care and successful recovery. Departments with related expertise Center for Individualized Medicine Clinical Genomics Early-Onset and Hereditary GI Cancers Program Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Group Laboratory Genetics in Minnesota Nephrology and Hypertension Obstetrics and Gynecology ResearchThe Department of Clinical Genomics-Research at Mayo Clinic does research to better understand the role of genetics in a variety of cancers and other conditions. This research may lead to better methods of screening, prevention and treatment for many types of genetic conditions. Mayo Clinic is committed to genetics and genomics research through many research projects. These are just two examples: The Colon Cancer Family Registry at Mayo Clinic is part of an international consortium dedicated to furthering an understanding of the risk factors for colorectal cancer. The Mayo Clinic Biobank collects donated blood samples that are available for studies aimed at a better understanding of how a person's genes influence overall health and wellness.
