Genetics
Established in 2009, the Genetics Department at Lifeline Hospital is a pioneer in providing state-of-the-art genetic services. We pride ourselves on utilizing groundbreaking Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to offer cost-effective and highly precise Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) and Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS). These services empower parents to make informed decisions about their embryos, reducing errors and significantly increasing success rates. In addition to PGD and PGS, we provide Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for the early detection of DNA defects in the child, enhancing prenatal care.
Within the Lifeline Hospital family, RGCS (Reproductive Genetics and Cancer Solutions) was established in 2018 as a state-of-the-art molecular diagnostic laboratory. Specializing in cutting-edge genetic testing services, including reproductive genetics, cancer genomics, pharmacogenomics, and wellness genetic testing, RGCS leads the way in harnessing the latest “Next Generation Sequencing” (NGS) technologies. Our commitment to unmatched speed and precision in DNA analysis is complemented by our team of expert genetic counselors, who adeptly guide patients through the process, ensuring well-informed decisions.
