Description of the Service Centre

At the outpatient clinic, patients and families with genetic diseases are observed and counselled by a multi-disciplinary team. At our molecular genetics lab, diagnostic, carrier, presymptomatic and prenatal tests are available for a large number of diseases. A quality management system is in place, and a formal request for accreditation has already been filed to IPAQ. The DNA/cell-line bank storages many thousands of samples, coupled with clinical and pedigree data.
