The
Molecular Genetic Laboratory in KMGC is performing molecular genetic testing for
diagnosis of many genetic disorders. Moreover, it offers a DNA banking facility for the
genetic diseases, with uncharacterized genes, for future investigation. Now a
day the laboratory is performing tests for the following genetic disorders:

N.B.:
Screening
for mutations in other genes can be done with special
arrangement. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you got a possible genetic
disorder and you need to screen for its molecular pathology even if it is not
present in the above
list.
