MOST DEMANDED TESTS
Predictive genetics can use DNA analysis to detect innate predispositions to inherited diseases. By identifying the hereditary cause of a health risk, appropriate prevention can be initiated in time to minimize potential health complications. Genetics is the most advanced yet easily accessible tool in health care.
WHY GHC GENETICS IS THE BEST CHOICE
We are one of the few facilities in the Czech Republic that perform complex genetic analyses in their own accredited laboratory. We don't send DNA samples to any third party, they're perfectly safe with us. If a positive result is detected, it is essential to consult a doctor or geneticist who will explain the results of the analysis in detail and help to set up appropriate measures.
80+ TESTS
Our portfolio of analyses consists of more than 80 tests in various areas that are available to anyone. Each test can be taken at your own discretion or on the advice of your physician.
6,300 CONSULTATIONS
Each year, our doctors provide thousands of genetic consultations and advisory opinions. Whether to help you choose the right test for you or to provide information and recommendations specifically for you.
1,400 PHYSICIANS
We cooperate with major teaching hospitals and physicians across the Czech Republic, through which we provide the general public with the opportunity to use genetic tests and analyses for diagnosis and prevention.
OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
The GHC Genetics laboratory has been performing molecular genetic analyses since 2007. At that time, it was one of the first on the market to make genetic testing available to the general public. It is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, uses the latest technology and has established a highly professional environment with its own medical team. Thanks to this, we are able to provide comprehensive services of the highest quality in one place, ensuring maximum comfort for our clients. We are constantly educating ourselves and following new developments in the industry, continuously upgrading our laboratory equipment, expanding our portfolio of services and, last but not least, listening to the needs of our clients.
What is predictive genetics?
It is a relatively young, but rapidly developing medical field, which was created on the basis of the decoding of the human genome in 2003, as part of the Human Genome Project. Predictive genetics combines genetics with preventive medicine, where the analysis of DNA samples can reveal the predispositions for a number of civilisational diseases and inherited diseases. This allows the necessary preventive measures to be set up and the onset of disease to be prevented in time. In addition, the body's ability to metabolize certain harmful substances or drugs, food intolerances and gene mutations that increase the risk of cardiovascular or cancer diseases, and many others can be detected. Having a predisposition or a predisposition to a disease does not mean that you have the disease or that you are certain to develop it in the future. The development of a disease is influenced by many factors. In addition to the genetic code, there are also external factors, including lifestyle and environment, dietary habits, stress and others. Therefore, an integral part of a predictive genetic analysis is a consultation with a physician and a personalized set of recommendations on what measures to take in case of a positive result and how to effectively prevent the risks of developing the disease.

The first year of the Czechoslovak Congress of Medical Genetics took place with our active participation.
On 2-4 April 2025, the first ever Czechoslovak Congress of Medical Genetics took place at the Elektra Cultural and Congress Centre in Luhačovice. This new platform builds on the long-standing cooperation of Czech and Slovak experts in the field of medical genetics and was created by combining two traditional events - the Martin Genetics Conference and the national DNA diagnostics conference.
The congress was well attended by experts from both countries and offered a rich professional programme, which included contributions from our colleagues. In total, there were 5 lectures from the team of GHC GENETICS SK, GHC GENETICS CZ and PRENET.
We would like to thank the entire author team for representing our companies and contributing to the expert discussion. We believe that the Czechoslovak Congress will become a regular platform for knowledge sharing and interdisciplinary collaboration.
