After isolating and sequencing of DNA from the blood draw or saliva sample, our team of bioinformaticians and geneticists uses advanced clinically accredited software to identify and analyze key genetic variants relevant to the purpose of the analysis. This platform leverages data generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, enabling rapid and accurate detection, annotation, and interpretation of variants across whole human genome. Through these sophisticated procedures, we empower clients with faster and more accurate diagnoses or screening results, paving the way for timely treatment of genetic conditions or the implementation of preventive strategies. Each sample is meticulously analyzed by a dedicated specialist, who spends hours exploring connections and interpreting data using the latest scientific insights, ensuring a strictly professional and thorough approach.

The sample, either a blood draw or isolated DNA, is stored in deep freeze in the laboratory under strict safety protocols for the duration specified by applicable regulations. (or according to your wishes)

We follow the latest technological advancements and scientific findings. In terms of data evaluation, we are using a clinically accredited software platform, but we also place equal emphasis on human expertise. By leveraging leading-edge technologies and collaborating with experienced specialists, we ensure that our approach represents the most accurate method currently available for analyzing and interpretation of genomic data.

Genetic testing plays a vital role in identifying changes in genes, chromosomes, or proteins. The results can confirm or rule out suspected genetic conditions while also estimating the likelihood of developing or transmitting genetic disorders. For example, a preconception genetic screening (commonly known as a carrier test) can reliably detect hidden mutations responsible for severe genetic diseases, even in seemingly healthy carriers. When two healthy carriers of the same mutation conceive, there is up to a 25% chance of passing the undetected genetic defect to their child.

We are committed to transparency and openly share that blood collection is managed through a network of laboratory collection points, while the sequencing of samples is currently performed by a specialized facility in Olomouc. Nonetheless, we never share your personal information and genomic data with third parties. If you’d like more detailed information about the operations, processes, or technical and staffing details of these facilities, feel free to ask—we’re happy to provide it.

We stand out by offering genetic testing based on whole-genome sequencing (WGS), which provides a comprehensive view of the genome and surpasses the limitations of panel-based approaches that focus only on specific genes or regions. With WGS, we capture all genetic information, enabling us to detect rare or unexpected variants that might be missed by targeted panels. One of the most significant advantages of WGS is its longevity and adaptability. The data generated can be securely stored and reanalyzed as scientific knowledge and bioinformatics tools advance. This means that the answers provided today can evolve into even more precise insights in the future, ensuring that the test remains relevant and valuable over time. By choosing WGS, clients benefit from a forward-thinking approach that not only meets their current diagnostic needs but also paves the way for future breakthroughs in personalized medicine.

Each service is concluded with a consultation with a clinical geneticist, during which the results are thoroughly reviewed and a detailed clinical report is provided. Test results and genomic data from analyzed samples are securely stored in our database. Should you wish to access your genomic data, please contact us at dna@sophgena.com, and our team will provide you with all the necessary information and ensure secure access to your genomic data.

Of course! That is what we are here for, and we are happy to assist you. Our services do not end with performing DNA analysis. We are more than happy to connect you with other collaborating doctors who specialize in the area that interests you at the moment.
