Diagnostic
The Greenwood Genetic Center’s Diagnostic Laboratories offer state of the art biochemical, cytogenetic and molecular genetic testing. Cutting edge technologies including multiple array CGH platforms, next-generation sequencing and expanding enzyme analysis testing complement traditional genetics technologies to assist the clinician in making an accurate and thorough diagnosis, helping both the patient and their families better understand the cause of the disorder and furthering the path toward treatments and cures. Our laboratory faculty and staff appreciate the trust you place in us, and we strive everyday to provide exceptional service for our referring physicians, genetic counselors and most importantly, the families they serve. The Harold A. Taylor Diagnostic Laboratories are named in honor of the co-founder of the Greenwood Genetic Center and Diagnostic Laboratory Director from 1974-2008.
New Diagnostic Tests: ABCD1 sequencing, ACADM sequencing, CPT1A sequencing, GALNS sequencing, GPC3 sequencing, GUSB sequencing, MTM1 sequencing, SLC22A5 sequencing, urine carnitine analysis and quantitative glycosaminoglycans.
