Predictive genetics can use DNA analysis to detect innate predispositions to inherited diseases. Thanks to identifying the hereditary cause of a health risk, appropriate prevention can be initiated in time to minimise potential health complications. Genetics is the most advanced yet easily accessible tool in health care.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Following the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency CPIC (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium), GHC Genetics laboratory has expanded testing of the DPYD gene (5-fluorouracil dosage) to test additional variants: c.1236G>A (HapB3) c.1679T>G (DPYD*13) c.1905+1G>A (DPYD*2A) c.2846A>T (p.D949V)

CLL is a cancer of the white blood cells (lymphocytes) that affects mostly elderly patients (>50 years) and almost exclusively Caucasians. It is the most common type of leukaemia in Europe. Men are affected twice as much as women. CLL is a disease that develops very slowly and is difficult to catch at an early stage.
Collaborating with a wide network of doctors and medical facilities is crucial to our work. Thanks to it, we can provide our services to our clients through these doctors from different disciplines (oncology, gynaecology, dentistry) across the Czech Republic. All aspects of this cooperation need to be carefully coordinated to work well. That's why we have a sophisticated in-house sample collection system, the ability to send requisitions electronically, and an efficient software solution that allows online sharing of the resulting reports, which are uploaded to the system as soon as they are generated. This way, doctors have virtually real-time results or lab reports. We are always looking to expand our network of doctors to ensure that we have the maximum possible coverage in each region to reach as many clients as possible. GHC Genetics is part of the Quality LAB and Privalab association, whose members must meet strict certification requirements. Our laboratory performs all analyses on state-of-the-art HIGH-END instruments, thanks to which you can rely on the validity of the results. All doctors are provided with maximum operational communication support from us through our sales department and have the possibility of a personal consultation with a geneticist during individual examinations. They will also appreciate clear and understandable medical reports, which they can then interpret for their patients. We are happy to be your partner for genetics.
