National Center of Genetics
The National Center of Genetics (NCG) of the LNS covers all areas of human genetics, including clinical genetics, genetic counselling and an extensive spectrum of genetic diagnostics, from conventional karyotyping to modern next generation sequencing (NGS), pre- and postnatal.
The NCG offers genetic consultations and diagnostics to individuals and their families, e.g. in the context of familial predisposition to cancer, rare hereditary diseases, or prenatal genetics and family planning. In addition, we are continuously establishing new techniques and expanding our diagnostic portfolio to ensure state-of-the-art patient care.
