Molecular Section

Sciences is well equipped withhigh-end instrumentation facilities such as PCR, RT-PCR, Sanger-sequencing platform and an NGS based platform for detection of disease parameters of certain diseases. In this section we regularly perform mutation analysis of a particular gene or a panel of genes based on the requirement of the clinician. We also perform carrier screening assays for diseases like beta-thalassemia, sickle cell anemia in this section. We cater our servicesto surgical oncologists, gynecologists, pediatrics, by performing custom made tests through indigenously developed panels at inDNA Life Sciences. We practice personalized and precision medicine in this section and help in better disease management.

Cytogenetics Section

Cytogenetics is the study of chromosomes that carry genetic information, the basic units of heredity. Chromosome disorders, a major category of genetic disease, are caused by errors in the number or structure in one or more genes, resulting in congenital malformations, developmental delay/intellectual disability, infertility and other abnormalities. In addition to the study of these disorders, cytogenetics has become an important tool in the diagnosis of patients with hematologic/oncologic disorders, and is used for disease classification, treatment decisions, and to monitor disease status and recovery. This section includes staff members with expertise in cytogenetics and molecular genetic pathology. Cytogenetic studies include traditional techniques for neoplastic disorders, solid tumors and congenital disorders. In addition, high-resolution chromosome analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) are available on a variety of specimen types, including peripheral blood, bone marrow and tissue investigations. Chromosomal microarray is the latest technology to be added in our laboratory and is currently offered as a first-tier test in various pediatric indications including multiple congenital anomalies, intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders. Together with our cytogenetics medical technologists and genetic counselor, this team is committed to providing the highest quality cytogenetic analysis available to complement your clinical practice. Accuracy, quality, reliable turnaround time, expert staff, and genetic counseling are all significant features of this section.

Wellness Section

To assess an individual's genetic risk, we take into account multiple factors such as relationship of genetics and genomics towards health, prevention, screening, treatment and monitoring. inDNA Life Sciences, focuses on specific and unique genetic codes using an indigenously developed complex algorithm based on the Indian genetic database of diverse ethnic population. These genetic codes are essentially linked to key phenotypes that are of significant concern of the modern society. We carefully analyze your genetic data to help you not only understand your genetic build-up but also to help you make necessary and possible modifications towards a healthier tomorrow.
