At Novagen Clinical Lab, we help patients and healthcare professionals uncover the stories written in their genes. With over two decades of diagnostic expertise and a strong focus on rare and complex conditions, we deliver results that empower better clinical decisions and long-term health planning.
Our DNA determines how our bodies develop, function, and respond to change. When variations occur within our genes, they can sometimes lead to medical or developmental challenges. While traditional testing can help identify some issues, genetic testing reveals the root cause making diagnosis clearer, treatment more personalized, and care more precise.
Genetic testing provides insight into how specific DNA changes may influence your health. Results generally fall into one of the following categories:
A genetic variant is identified that explains the symptoms or confirms a specific disorder. This result can provide clarity and help guide treatment or management options.
No disease-causing genetic variants are detected. While this may provide reassurance, further testing or clinical investigation may still be needed based on your medical history and symptoms.
A genetic difference is found, but its link to the condition is not yet fully understood. Research is ongoing, and your healthcare provider may recommend follow-up testing or consultations to gather more information.
Occasionally, genetic variants unrelated to your current symptoms but important for long-term health may be discovered. These can include increased risks for conditions such as heart disease or cancer. You can choose whether to receive these findings before testing begins.
Before testing, every patient (or legal guardian) reviews and signs an informed consent form. This ensures that you understand the purpose, benefits, and limitations of testing. You can also decide whether to receive secondary findings or participate in optional future research involving de-identified data.
Here’s a quick overview of how the genetic testing process works:
Your healthcare provider recommends the most suitable genetic test and collects your medical and family background information.
A simple blood, saliva, or cheek swab sample is collected and sent securely to our certified facility.
Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art sequencing technology to analyze your DNA and identify meaningful genetic variations.
Your provider receives a detailed report and works with you to explain what the results mean for your health.
When needed, patients are referred to one of our certified genetic counselors for further support, education, and emotional care.
At Novagen Clinical Lab, we partner with your healthcare provider to offer comprehensive genetic counseling before and after testing. Our licensed counselors simplify complex information, provide compassionate guidance, and ensure that you fully understand your results.
Ask your healthcare provider to send a referral. Once received, we’ll reach out to schedule your session. . Once received, we’ll contact you to book your appointment. Questions? Reach our counseling team at +1 (346) 635 8058 or info@novagendx.com
