List of Genetic Specialists

I have been searching Google to no avail. Does anyone know where I can find a list of geneticists that specialize in specific chromosomes? I'm looking for someone who specializes in chromosome 5 or 5p.

Thanks in advance for any help.

    They do not specialize in specific chromosomes. You may find one that specializes in certain genetic syndromes that ate assoc wih changes at 5. Maybe google what kind of syndromes fall on that chromosome, find a web page for that syndrome's organization and see if any specific drs are listed for research or even on their board of directors.

    I would start with geneticists that specialize in rare syndromes.  There are a few in the country that do just that.  There ones I know of are in Boston and in NYC.  We saw a doctor in Boston with Chris initially but realized the one in NYC was closer to us and the head of the study we are in.  Unique chromosomes is a good start for info as well.
