Associated DNA tests
Associated DNA tests are based on the same technology of DNA analysis as paternity testing. Identical technology enables conducting of internationally applicable and comparable analyses focusing on personal DNA profiling, which can then be used for identification of the biological material with respect to diverse life situations. For example, identification of biological materials in case of accidents, kidnapping, murders, disasters etc. or in case of proving or disproving a suspicion of marital infidelity. Associated DNA tests are in our laboratory accredited according to the ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 Standard.
- Stating of the unique identification genetic profile
The test is designed for people who are interested in finding out and archiving of their unique genetic profile based on analysis of globally used genetic STR markers. The findings are not only used for one’s own personal awareness but also for the case of potential need to identify biological samples in case of finding bodily remains, or identification of family relations. - Test of identity of two samples
This test is designed for cases when it is necessary to prove the presence of DNA coming from the same or, conversely, different source of biological evidence. This test can be used, e.g. in criminal forensic analyses, or when investigating marital infidelity. - Test of uniovularity of twins
This test can be used to prove the genetic identity of twins.
Diagnostic tests
For DNA diagnosis, we apply the technology of next generation sequencing enabling identification of pathogenic changes in a short time and within a single analysis. For all types of test, we need a fresh sample of blood collected into EDTA tubes (we recommend using vacuum-based collection system by Vacutainer from BD). Collection of blood sample is performed by our contractual partner.
ExomeSeq test
Currently unavailable. We are launching in the new mode from Q4/2024.
Universal multigene DNA test for hereditary diseases comprising analysis of coding areas of all known protein-coding genes (19 000+) in a single test, including bioinformatic analysis and interpretation by an expert based on medical history. The test takes advantage of next generation sequencing on the Illumina platform. The results are typically available within one month although it is possible that considering the sophisticated requirements for technology and expertise, the analysis may take up to two months.

Whole genome scan of CNV – GenoScan NGS
This test is based on whole genome analysis and focuses on identification of chromosomal and large chromosomal disorders (1 Mb min.) From the technology perspective, this test is run on next generation sequencing platform, not microarray, which comes with several advantages (a simpler procedure, greater robustness, higher speed, and sensitivity). The analysis and interpretation take 2 weeks.
