Our comprehensive range of services covers a wide spectrum of genetic testing options, ensuring that you have access to the most advanced tools for understanding your health through your genes.

All our services are CAP, CLIA, and ISO15189 Accredited.

Our Genetic Testing Services Include:

1. Whole Genome Sequencing:

Value: Whole genome sequencing analyzes your entire genetic code, allowing for a comprehensive view of your DNA. It can identify a wide range of genetic conditions and predispositions, and can be a valuable resource for personalized medicine.

2. Exome Sequencing (Whole Exome, Clinical Exome and Focused Exome Sequencing):

Value: Whole exome sequencing focuses on the coding regions of genes, where most disease-related variants are found. It is a cost-effective way to uncover the genetic basis of rare diseases and undiagnosed conditions.

3. Genetic Panel Testing:

Value: Our custom-targeted panels cater to specific genetic conditions, making it a powerful tool for those seeking to explore particular areas of their health or ancestry. Choose from one of the largest portfolios of panels for a variety of diseases or symptoms, or specialty panels that suit your individual needs like the epilepsy panel, mental retardation panel, and cancer germline panels.

4. Single Gene Testing:

Value: Single gene testing provides a deep dive into a specific gene associated with a particular condition. It’s an efficient choice for those concerned about a known genetic risk or investigating family history.

5. Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT):

Value: NIPT offers a safe and accurate way to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the developing fetus, without the need for invasive procedures.

6. Prenatal Testing:

Value: Prenatal testing enables early detection of genetic conditions and disorders in unborn children, offering parents the opportunity to prepare and make informed decisions regarding their child’s health.

7. Cancer Testing (Germline):

Value: Germline cancer testing helps identify inherited genetic mutations that increase the risk of cancer, allowing for proactive prevention strategies.

8. Cancer Testing (Somatic):

Value: Somatic testing examines genetic mutations in tumor tissue to guide personalized cancer treatments, optimizing outcomes.

9. Other Cancer Specialized testing:

   At MedLabs, we also offer a wide range of specialized testing for cancer diseases including, OncotypeDx, microbiome testing, cancer vaccine design, healthy patient cancer screening, translocations and fusion genes plus much more. Please contact us for any specific inquiries

10. Lifestyle Genomics:

Value: Explore the genetic factors that impact your lifestyle choices, including nutrition, exercise, and ancestry. Tailor your diet and fitness regimen according to your unique genetic makeup. Learn about your genetic heritage and uncover fascinating insights into your ancestry.

11. Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) and Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M) for IVF:

Value: For individuals undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), PGT-A and PGT-M offer the ability to screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities and specific genetic disorders before implantation. This can increase the likelihood of a successful pregnancy and reduce the risk of passing on genetic conditions to your child.

12. Karyotyping, FISH, and PCR Technologies:

Value: Karyotyping, FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization), and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) are advanced laboratory techniques used for the analysis of chromosomes, specific genetic regions, and viral DNA. These technologies are pivotal in diagnosing genetic diseases, identifying chromosomal abnormalities, and detecting viral and cancer-related genetic markers with precision.

13. Newborn Screening:

Value: Newborn screening is a vital early detection tool, ensuring that infants are screened for a range of genetic, metabolic, and congenital conditions shortly after birth (ideally between the 4^th and 14^th day of life). This process is crucial in identifying disorders that may not be immediately evident but can have a significant impact on a child’s health if left undetected. Newborn screening allows for prompt medical intervention, providing the best possible start in life for your baby. Early diagnosis and intervention can make a profound difference in managing these conditions, preventing complications, and ensuring a bright and healthy future for your child.

14. Functional Assay and CRISPR Technology for Research:

Value: Functional assays, often employing cutting-edge CRISPR technology, are indispensable for exploring the functional roles of specific genes. These assays provide valuable insights into how genetic alterations affect cellular processes, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic targets. By using CRISPR-based techniques, researchers can precisely modify and assess gene function, opening doors to innovative discoveries in biology, medicine, and drug development. Understanding the functional consequences of genetic variations is paramount in advancing our knowledge and developing targeted treatments for a wide range of diseases, from genetic disorders to complex conditions. Functional assays utilizing CRISPR technology represent a powerful tool for researchers in their quest for scientific breakthroughs and improved healthcare outcomes.
