Jennifer L. Cohen

Overview

I was drawn to the field of medical genetics because of the opportunity it afforded to closely follow patients and families over time and collaborate with families from the perspective of research, in order to answer questions regarding the health concerns of their children. I am eager to push the field forward toward more numerous and effective treatments within the rare disease realm. Throughout my combined pediatrics and medical genetics residency training, I developed a particular clinical and research interest in working toward earlier diagnosis for children with rare disease in order to be able to more effectively treat them. My clinical areas of interest include Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (an epigenetic and genetic overgrowth disorder), genetic neuromuscular disorders (in particular those with cardiac involvement), and lysosomal storage disorders (such as Wolman disease and Pompe disease).

Her clinical expertise encompasses Tetrasomy 9p, Temple Syndrome, Mosaic Variegated Aneuploidy Syndrome, and Chromosome 11 Uniparental Disomy.

I am a pediatric nephrologist and work with children with kidney disease. Some of the conditions that we see include congenital malformations of the kidney and the bladder, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney filters), and children who are on dialysis or who received kidney transplantation because of kidney failure. I listen carefully to parents when they bring their children to the clinic because they know their children better than any other person, and they are the best advocates for their child. I collaborate a lot with the other doctors in the clinic. Rest assured, when you visit our clinic and I am not around, the doctor who is seeing you knows everything about your child. This is a group practice with a very caring multidisciplinary team. Dr. Gbadegesin is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, Nephrotic Syndrome, Minimal Change Disease, Glomerulonephritis, and Kidney Transplant.
