Congenica 'Sample to Report' Service

Jan 13, 2022

Congenica has expanded its clinical consulting services by introducing a "sample to report" service. The UK-based company said that the new offering will support clinical laboratories with constrained capacity by connecting them with sequencing partners to conduct panel, whole-exome, and whole-genome sequencing. Congenica can then perform data analysis and clinical interpretation, and, where allowed by law, sign off on reports on behalf of its clients.
