Featured Content
Rapid Genome Sequencing
- Receive results in 3–7 days.
- Our rapid whole genome sequencing assay connects patients with answers more quickly than ever.
Peroxisomal Disorders
Detecting plasmalogen deficiency is essential for the diagnosis of peroxisome biogenesis defects. Our Plasmalogens (Red Blood Cells) assay offers high precision and specificity, includes established normal ranges from birth to adulthood that improve diagnostic accuracy, clearly distinguishes patients with rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP), and identifies severe versus mild phenotypes.
Genetics Testing Areas
With one of the fastest turnaround times in the industry, our whole genome sequencing (WGS) assays connect patients with answers quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Chromosomal Abnormalities (Cytogenetics)
Cytogenetics testing aids in the diagnosis of heritable genetic abnormalities and the detection of acquired abnormalities relevant for the diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, and monitoring of many types of cancer.
Our comprehensive cytogenetics laboratory offers testing for both constitutional and oncology cases, including chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, and genomic microarray.

Our suite of hereditary cancer tests uses next generation sequencing (NGS) to detect clinically relevant gene variants for many cancer syndromes. Identification of these variants can help providers determine individual and familial cancer risk, develop additional screening and monitoring strategies, and develop treatment plans.

Prenatal Cell-Free DNA Screening
Our prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) test uses massively parallel WGS to assess the risk that a fetus will be born with chromosomal abnormalities. Prenatal cfDNA screening provides a cost-effective, sensitive, and specific screening option for trisomy 13, trisomy 18, and trisomy 21.

Pharmacogenomic testing leverages genetic testing to predict a patient’s response to a drug and achieve therapeutic efficacy. We provide affordable, high-throughput testing based on genes with the highest levels of evidence to provide results that will effectively help clinicians manage their patients’ treatment plans.

Pregnancy and Prenatal Testing
Our pregnancy and prenatal tests can be used to determine the risk for heritable genetic diseases, screen for and diagnose chromosomal abnormalities, and monitor the health of both fetus and mother throughout pregnancy. We also offer diagnostic testing for at-risk pregnancies through our cytogenetics and molecular genetics labs, as well as testing to determine the underlying cause of infertility or pregnancy loss.
