For Patients
Our Genetic Testing Services
While DNA is found in nearly every cell of your body, blood samples are the most common choice for testing. This is because they are easy to collect and provide a rich source of genetic material.
DNA carries the instructions for your body's structure and functions. If this information contains changes, it can lead to malfunctions in specific organs or the entire body. Our laboratory’s mission is to identify these genetic variants.

Where to find us for genetic and DNA testing?
Results are not affected by food or medication intake. You do not need to fast before the procedure. You can undergo testing at any Leogene collection point or through one of our authorized partners. While venous blood is the preferred sample for most genetic tests, we also work with a wide range of biological materials, including:
• Buccal swabs (cheek swabs)
• Amniotic fluid
• Chorionic villi
• Paraffin blocks (biopsy samples)
• Saliva
• Blood spots (dry blood spots), and others.
For your safety and to ensure the highest sample quality, we strongly recommend that all collections be performed by a qualified healthcare professional.
