MOST DEMANDED TESTS
Predictive genetics can use DNA analysis to detect innate predispositions to inherited diseases. Thanks to identifying the hereditary cause of a health risk, appropriate prevention can be initiated in time to minimise potential health complications. Genetics is the most advanced yet easily accessible tool in health care.
Tests for thrombophilic mutations
This genetic analysis can detect innate predispositions to increased blood clotting and allows you to take the necessary preventive measures in time. Thrombosis is a blood clot that can cause serious health complications, in extreme cases even death. It is caused by slowed blood flow and/or altered blood composition due to the joint effects of external risk factors and hereditary predispositions.
Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome
Genetic analysis of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome examines in detail more than 2000 mutations in the entire BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that cause breast and ovarian cancer in women and significantly increase the risk of prostate cancer in men. These mutations are inherited independently of gender, so prevention is absolutely key across the population. A genetic analysis will give you an answer as to whether you have a hereditary predisposition to the disease and, if necessary, allow you to take the necessary measures in time.
WHY GHC GENETICS IS THE BEST CHOICE
We are one of the few facilities in the Czech Republic that perform complex genetic analyses in their own accredited laboratory. We don't send DNA samples to any third party, they're perfectly safe with us. If a positive result is detected, it is essential to consult a doctor or geneticist who will explain the results of the analysis in detail and help to set up appropriate measures.
80+ TESTS
Our portfolio of analyses consists of more than 80 tests in various areas that are available to anyone. Each test can be taken at your own discretion or on the advice of your physician.
6,300 CONSULTATIONS
Each year, our doctors provide thousands of genetic consultations and advisory opinions. Whether to help you choose the right test for you or to provide information and recommendations specifically for you.
1,400 PHYSICIANS
We cooperate with major teaching hospitals and physicians across the Czech Republic, through which we provide the general public with the opportunity to use genetic tests and analyses for diagnosis and prevention.
OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
The GHC Genetics laboratory has been performing molecular genetic analyses since 2007. At that time, it was one of the first on the market to make genetic testing available to the general public. It is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, uses the latest technology and has established a highly professional environment with its own medical team. Thanks to this, we are able to provide comprehensive services of the highest quality in one place, ensuring maximum comfort for our clients. We are constantly educating ourselves and following new developments in the industry, continuously upgrading our laboratory equipment, expanding our portfolio of services and, last but not least, listening to the needs of our clients.
News from GHC Genetics
We participated in a major study within the CZECANCA project
As part of the Czecanca project , we participated in the scientific study A comprehensive study evaluating germline FANCG variants in predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer. GHC Genetics has been a long-term active partner of the project and contributes a large amount of laboratory and clinical data.
Deciphering the chromosome 25 years ago opened the door to treat hereditary diseases
A quarter of a century ago, a team of 100 scientists succeeded in describing the chromosome for the first time. It has helped treat dozens of diseases, but its true potential is still unfolding.
It's like the invention of the wheel. It's like breaking the atom. It's like landing a man on the moon. Twenty-five years ago, that's how the media assessed a scientific discovery made in late 1999. It allowed humanity to enter the twenty-first century with the knowledge of a single human chromosome. It may not seem like much, but this research opened the way for the detection and treatment of hereditary diseases.
Simply put: most of the cases of children for whose treatment money is raised today have gained hope thanks to the description of a chromosome that has made possible genetic treatments for diseases that science had not known how to deal with until then.
Joint preventive action of GHC Genetics with the OZP insurance company
GHC Genetics, in partnership with the Health insurance company for bank, insurance company and civil engineering employees (OZP), is offering a limited-time discounted promotion for its insureds. From 1 December 2024 to 1 January 2025, they can take advantage of a Christmas 50% discount and pay only CZK 1,200 for a TromboGen Plus examination . The test can detect early a genetic predisposition to increased blood clotting, which is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis and subsequent potentially very serious complications. Deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attack or stroke are serious diseases that affect even people who live a healthy lifestyle, exercise, are of normal weight and have normal blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Our partner network of doctors is a priority for us
Collaborating with a wide network of doctors and medical facilities is crucial to our work. Thanks to it, we can provide our services to our clients through these doctors from different disciplines (oncology, gynaecology, dentistry) across the Czech Republic. All aspects of this cooperation need to be carefully coordinated to work well. That's why we have a sophisticated in-house sample collection system, the ability to send requisitions electronically, and an efficient software solution that allows online sharing of the resulting reports, which are uploaded to the system as soon as they are generated. This way, doctors have virtually real-time results or lab reports. We are always looking to expand our network of doctors to ensure that we have the maximum possible coverage in each region to reach as many clients as possible. GHC Genetics is part of the Quality LAB and Privalab association, whose members must meet strict certification requirements. Our laboratory performs all analyses on state-of-the-art HIGH-END instruments, thanks to which you can rely on the validity of the results. All doctors are provided with maximum operational communication support from us through our sales department and have the possibility of a personal consultation with a geneticist during individual examinations. They will also appreciate clear and understandable medical reports, which they can then interpret for their patients. We are happy to be your partner for genetics.
