General Information Tests offered Sample requirements Prices Instructions to order a test Mutation Information Guidelines for Molecular Testing Bottlenecks in Molecular Testing General information GENDIA, a network of genetic diagnostic laboratories offers the largest panel of genetic diagnostic tests worldwide. Over 2000 genetic tests are performed either in-house or in one of the GENDIA laboratories. By providing straightforward access to this large panel of tests, GENDIA aims to assist geneticists, health professionals, hospitals, and clinics to effectively manage the clinical genetic needs of patients and their families. Diagnosis of genetic diseases is important, as they are associated with significant morbidity, and sometimes lethality. Post- and prenatal diagnosis, carrier detection and genetic counselling in families affected by these disorders often rely on detection of the disease-causing mutation by molecular analysis of the genes involved. However, monogenic diseases have been associated with mutations in up to 1500 different genes. Consequently, mutation detection presents a formidable challenge to diagnostic laboratories. Most genetic laboratories offer excellent molecular diagnostics, but only for a limited number of these diseases. Finding a diagnostic laboratory that can provide mutation analysis for the many infrequent genetic disorders can therefore be difficult. GENDIA wants to facilitate access to molecular testing by offering molecular tests for more than 500 genes.

The DNA samples should be delivered at room temperature. Blood: 10ml of peripheral blood collected in an EDTA(lavender top) tube is required for adults and 5ml for children. The samples should be delivered at room temperature. NEVER freeze blood specimens. Serum: for the Down screening test on maternal blood, a minimum of 1ml serum is required. Transport: Always send samples by Express Mail at room temperature. Please fill out the four forms and sent those together with the sample. The submission form and the agreement form should be inside the package, and the custom form outside of the package. Please provide our telephone number beneath the address. Please send all samples to:
Please contact GENDIA if you need more shipping information. Prices Prices can be downloaded from the DOWNLOAD section Prices of molecular tests are dependent upon the type of mutation analysis. There is an extra charge for DNA extraction (50 € per sample), and expedited analysis (200 €). Exclusion of maternal contamination in a prenatal test is 100 €. The price to screen for familial mutations already diagnosed by GENDIA is 250 €. Please contact GENDIA for specific price information. After the test result has been issued an invoice will be sent. Payment is possible by credit card (Visa or Mastercard), or by bank transfer to:
