The laboratory also offers preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for an increasing number of disorders, using a revolutionary approach developed in-house in partnership with the Trust's Assisted Conception Unit and PGD Centre.
The Laboratory receives specimens from within the former SE Thames Region, and is the nationally funded referral laboratory for genetic testing of congenital muscular dystrophies and myopathies. The Laboratory is a member of the UK Genetic Testing Network (UKGTN), and receives a large number of referrals through this network.
