The Greenwood Genetic Center (GGC) is a nonprofit institute organized to provide clinical genetic services, diagnostic laboratory testing, educational programs and resources, and research in the field of medical genetics. We’re aiming to be a Center of Excellence in Medical Genetics serving as a resource for all who need genetic services or information, and working to reduce the prevalence and impact of genetic disorders.
Ever since the Greenwood Genetic Center was established in 1974, we have remained committed to the high standards and ideals of our visionary cofounders. Their dream – to provide access to high-quality care for all families needing our services – endures as we strive to lead with contemporary technology and a philosophy of compassion.

From our founding, the Greenwood Genetic Center has provided clinical genetic services, diagnostic laboratory testing, educational programs, and genetic research to support patients and families. All four divisions of GGC collaborate to provide genetic services and information to those who need it while striving to reduce the prevalence and impact of genetic disorders.
The GGC Foundation directly supports the mission of the Greenwood Genetic Center in provide families and patients living with genetic disorders the access to compassionate care, innovative technology, educational resources, and world-class research. GGC was founded on philanthropy and we’re working to extend that generosity in all we do.
The Greenwood Genetic Center and Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) have developed a formal partnership to improve access to genetic services for patients and families across South Carolina and advance the diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders. Faculty across both organizations are involved in numerous projects toward these shared goals. GGC’s President and CEO, Dr. Steve Skinner, serves as the clinical lead for MUSC’s Precision Health Initiative as well as the chair of MUSC’s Integrated Center of Clinical Excellence (ICCE) in Genetics and Genomics, a care model designed to improve the patient experience and achieve optimal patient outcomes.
