St George’s Genomics Service
On this page:
The St George’s Genomics Service is part of the South East Genomics Laboratory Hub (SEGLH) and is based in St. George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The service has been rebranded in 2019 from the SW Thames Regional Genetics Laboratory, following reconfiguration of genetics services by NHS England. The service is a UKAS accredited medical laboratory, No. 8127.
In collaboration with consortium laboratories forming the South East Genomics Laboratory Hub (SEGLH), the St George’s Genomics Service is contracted to provide a comprehensive diagnostic analytical and reporting service for a range of genetic disorders, utilising data provided from other SEGLH laboratories. The service also provides variant interpretation for the 100,000 genomes project and offers Non Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) via the SAFE Test Laboratory, which was set up in collaboration with the St George’s Fetal Medicine Unit (FMU).
