Medical genetics diagnoses inherited and non-inherited conditions caused by changes in genes, and helps individuals and families understand their risks, including carrier status and risks for future children. The genetic diagnosis centre at our partner hospital offers genetic consultations and counselling alongside cytogenetic, molecular cytogenetic and molecular genetic testing in ISO 15189 accredited laboratories. MedLuxLife coordinates appointments, sample logistics and translation of reports.
Treatments and services
Genetic consultation
Outpatient examination by a medical geneticist to assess whether a genetic condition may be present.
Genetic counselling
Explanation of results, risk assessment for relatives and future generations, and planning of preventive options, also for families referred from other centres.
Prenatal genetic diagnosis
Testing during pregnancy when screening suggests increased risk, with advanced maternal age, or when a parent carries a known genetic condition.
Postnatal genetic diagnosis
Testing in children and adults when a genetic cause is suspected, including recurrent miscarriage, infertility and hereditary neurological or muscle diseases.
Cytogenetics
Karyotype analysis on blood, amniotic fluid, chorionic villus, fetal blood and bone marrow samples.
Molecular cytogenetics
FISH testing, including rapid detection of common chromosomal changes and microdeletion syndromes, and molecular karyotyping (array CGH).
Molecular genetic testing
DNA analyses for single-gene diseases and carrier status.
Oncology and haematology genetics
FISH and DNA analyses on tumour tissue and bone marrow, used as markers for disease course and possible response to chemotherapy.
Interdisciplinary cooperation
Close collaboration with paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, internal medicine, neurology, neurosurgery and pathology.
Situations in which genetic testing may be considered
- Increased risk of a chromosomal anomaly in pregnancy screening
- Advanced maternal age
- Known carrier status for a chromosomal or single-gene disease
- Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and other common chromosomal anomalies – rapid FISH on amniocentesis samples
- Rapid chromosomal analysis on chorionic villus biopsy samples
- Karyotype and DNA analyses on fetal blood samples
- Congenital anomalies
- Growth, developmental and intellectual disabilities
- Short stature
- Global developmental delay
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Infertility
- Single-gene diseases more common in consanguineous families
- Hereditary neurological and muscle diseases appearing in adulthood
- Suspected inherited predisposition to thrombosis
- Oncology and haematology patients (tumour tissue and bone marrow analyses)
Before you travel
To get a reliable medical opinion quickly, please prepare:

- Imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray) on CD or as DICOM files, with the radiology reports
- Recent laboratory results
- A list of your current medications and any allergies
- Previous genetic test reports
- A family medical history covering at least three generations
