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.

Sample
requirements
DNA: The minimal amount of DNA needed
for analysis of whole genes is 30µg. if only a
few mutations have to be screened, 10µg is sufficient.
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.
