The molecular laboratory service provides genetic diagnosis for those families suffering from inherited conditions caused by mutation of specific single genes.Testing is performed using a variety of DNA analysis techniques to identify causative mutations or to track defective genes through families.
The Molecular Genetics Laboratory operates within the Professional Guidelines of the Clinical Molecular Genetics Society (CMGS).
The laboratory is accredited by Clinical Pathology Accreditation
Clinical scientists and MLSO staff are State Registered with the Health Professions Council after the required period of training.
The Molecular Genetics Laboratory participates in the following external quality assurance schemes:
Northern Genetics Service Institute of Genetic Medicine Central Parkway Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 3BZ
Tel: 0191 241 8600
The laboratory operates Monday to Friday between the hours of 08.30 and 17.00.For the receipt and analysis of very urgent samples outside these hours, please make special arrangements with the laboratory.
