Dr Ehsan Karimiani

Dr Ehsan Karimiani is a UK-based Clinical Geneticist at Kensington International Clinic (KIC) in London, specialising in precision genomic medicine, rare disease diagnostics, and personalised patient care. With over a decade of combined clinical and academic experience, he integrates advanced genomic technologies with a highly individualised, patient-centred approach.

His practice spans hereditary cancer genetics, where he provides comprehensive risk assessment for conditions including breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and familial colorectal cancer. He offers tumour–germline interpretation, cascade testing, and tailored surveillance strategies aligned with international guidelines, supporting both prevention and treatment decision-making.

Dr Karimiani has a strong focus on reproductive genomics and preconception medicine. He supports individuals and couples through expanded carrier screening, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-M and PGT-A), and prenatal genomic assessment. He works closely with leading fertility specialists to deliver integrated, evidence-based care within assisted reproduction pathways.

A key area of his expertise is neurogenetics and rare inherited disorders, particularly complex and undiagnosed conditions. He provides advanced genomic evaluation—including exome and whole genome sequencing—combined with deep phenotyping and multidisciplinary input. He is actively involved in research and reanalysis pipelines for unresolved cases, including collaboration with academic centres.

Dr Karimiani also has established expertise in audiogenetics, offering comprehensive genomic evaluation for congenital, progressive, and familial hearing loss. His approach combines audiological phenotyping with genomic technologies to inform diagnosis, prognosis, and eligibility for emerging therapies and clinical trials.

His broader clinical services include genomic assessment for:

•  Developmental delay and intellectual disability
•  Autism spectrum conditions 
•  Inherited cardiac, ophthalmic, and multisystem genetic disorders
•  Pharmacogenetics for personalised prescribing
• Expanded carrier screening across hundreds of genetic conditions

Dr Karimiani has particular expertise in working with patients from diverse and international backgrounds, including populations with higher rates of consanguinity. He is highly experienced in identifying rare recessive disorders and founder mutations, and provides culturally sensitive, tailored genetic counselling.

He is an Honorary Lecturer in Medical Genetics at University College London and is actively involved in clinical research, teaching, and international collaborations in genomic medicine. His work includes contributions to large-scale genomic studies and rare disease gene discovery, with a focus on translating research findings into clinical care.

Through his private practice and the London Genetics platform, Dr Karimiani delivers a highly personalised, consultant-led service, often coordinating multidisciplinary input across specialties. His approach emphasises clarity, precision, and continuity of care—from initial consultation through to diagnosis, management, and long-term follow-up.
