About our Genomics service
NSW Health Pathology is a world leader in genomics, the study of a person’s complete set of genes.
We perform more than 80,000 genetic and genomic tests a year giving new insights into:
rare genetic diseases
cancer
infectious diseases caused by pathogens.
Service overview
Our Genomics service:
offers DNA sequencing for rare disorders
performs gene panel testing for rare disorders, inherited cancers and tumour profiling, and
uses Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) to track the origins, evolution and spread of infectious organisms that cause disease.
Our internationally-recognised, highly-skilled genetic pathologists and scientists are developing faster, more efficient tests for an ever-expanding range of genomic applications. This is vital to how we can help prevent or treat hereditary conditions such as cancer and heart disease.
We are using genomics in new ways to improve patient care and the health of our communities.
