Medical Genetics
Our deep expertise in Medical Genetics and our high-quality genetic testing enables accurate diagnosis of genetic conditions across all medical specialties.
Founded 30 years ago as the first private Medical Genetics laboratory in Portugal, we have grown into a global reference genomics lab for clinical, research and pharmaceutical applications.
Since 1992, Unilabs Genetics (CGC - Centro de Genética Clínica e Patologia S.A.) has been a reference laboratory for genetic diagnostic testing. With a portfolio of more than 3,800 tests in all medical specialties, we support physicians and patients in their diagnostic journey.
As a leading European laboratory in Medical Genetics with global footprint, we enable public healthcare organizations, private hospitals and medical clinics to accurately diagnose their patients and make informed decisions on treatment and clinical management of their disease.
We also support academic institutes, research centres and Pharmaceutical companies with data-driven insights that lead to biomarker discovery, understanding the genetic mechanism of diseases and drug development.
