As a fully NATA-accredited laboratory, we specialise in identifying genetic disorders with precision and reliability at an accessible price. Testing consists of Whole Exome Sequencing which analyses the protein-coding regions (exons) of an individual's genome across approximately 20 000 genes. Analysis is phenotypically driven and targets genes specific to the patient's phenotype.
All testing is performed locally at the Brisbane laboratory which means that your sample and genetic information does not leave Australia.
Parents and GuardiansIn Australia, up to 8% of children born have a genetic disease. On average it takes 6 years for diagnosis (kidsresearch.org.au) after the child first presents with initial symptoms - with 10% of children still undiagnosed at the age of 10 years of age.
Some genetic diseases are very obvious from birth, while others remain hidden and can present later in childhood such as learning difficulties, failure to thrive, heart conditions, skin problems, certain blood conditions and immune problems to name a few.
The Rapid Genetic Testing team can simultaneously screen for over 920 of the most common genetic diseases – making it the most reliable form of genetic testing on the market today. | MedicalRapid Genetic Testing is an Australian Based, Paediatric Genetics company that was established to provide rapid genetic testing of children who are believed to carry an unknown genetic disease.
Using Artificial Intelligence in our bioinformatics pipeline, we can report on over 920 different genetic diseases from a blood spot (Guthrie Card), in a single tube. Once completed, we provide clinicians with relevant research papers for the diagnosed disease.
If you suspect your newborn baby or young children have an undiagnosed genetic disorder or disease, Rapid Genetic Testing is the key to an efficient diagnosis. |
All samples and data remain in Australia
