The Department of Clinical Genetics offers genetic counselling for hereditary diseases and genetic testing for a variety of diseases.

Genetic counselling involves an analysis of the family, the diseases within the family and a risk assessment for the disease in other family members. We have about 1600 patients admitted per year.

The laboratory consists of a modern genetics laboratory. We perform chromosome analyses, DNA analyses for single-gene disorders, array CGH, NGS and in our research we perform microarray as well. We perform about 4000 genetic analyses for clinical use per year.

The laboratory is by April 2015 accredited by DANAK after ISO 15 189. The accredited analyses are visible on www.danak.dk under laboratory 1024.

The research unit, Human Genetics, is a part of the Institute of Health, University of South
