Genomics & Genetics

Genomics and Genetics

Our mission is to provide support services to clinicians and healthcare providers. The service specializes in testing for single-gene genetic diseases, birth defects, chromosomal and genomic syndromes, intellectual disabilities, and other diseases with genetic components. This allows us to provide diagnoses and genetic counseling, thereby improving the healthcare provided to patients and their families.
