GENDIA (for Genetic diagnostics) is an international network consisting of more than 50 laboratories located in the USA, Europe and Australia.
GENDIA currently offers more than 2000 different genetic tests.
The mission of GENDIA is to improve the accessibility, cost-effectiveness and quality of genetic diagnostics on a global scale.
 
Latest Gendia News:

Nov 1, 2009: GENDIA now offers a next-generation sequencing  platform for the molecular diagnosis of Familial Arrythmia.
This platform is directly sequencing single DNA molecules with the Helicos' True Single Molecule Sequencing (tSMS)™ technology.
The platform detects mutations in:

> 75% of Long QT syndrome – Brugada syndrome
> 50% Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD) / Cardiomyopathy
> 50% of Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT)
> 7% Atrial Fibrillation

with sequencing of the following 24 genes:

  • ANK2 encoding Ankyrin-B
  • CACNA1C encoding Calcium channel, L type, alpha 1
  • CACNB2 encoding Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, beta 2
  • CASQ2 encoding Calsequestrin
  • CAV3 encoding Caveolin 3
  • DSC2 encoding Desmocollin-2
  • DSG2 encoding Desmoglein-2
  • DSP encoding Desmoplain
  • GPD1L encoding Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1-like
  • JUP encoding Junction plakoglobin
  • KCNE1 encoding Voltage-gated potassium channel, Isk related, member 1
  • KCNE2 encoding Voltage-gated potassium channel, Isk related, member 2
  • KCNH2 encoding Potassium channel, voltage-gated, H2
  • KCNJ2 encoding Inwardly rectifying potassium channel
  • KCNQ1 encoding KQT-like voltage-gated potassium channel 1
  • NPPA encoding Natriuretic peptide precursor a
  • PKP2 encoding Plakophilin-2
  • PLN encoding Phospholamban
  • RYR2 encoding Ryanodine receptor 2
  • SCN1B encoding Sodium channel, voltage-gated, type 1B
  • SCN4B encoding Sodium channel, voltage-gated, type 4B
  • SCN5A encoding Sodium channel, voltage-gated, type 5A
  • TGFB3 encoding Transforming growth factor, beta 3
  • TMEM43 encoding Transmembrane protein 43
The price for the analysis of the 24 genes in a single sample is 2000 Euro.
Once a disease-causing mutation is identified, family members can be screened for that mutation at 250 Euro.
The turnaround time of the test is 3 months.
