You have a question about Spital Genetic Services? We have an answer.
Genetics focuses on individual genes and their roles in inheritance. Genomics studies all genes (the genome) and their interactions. Genetics often deals with specific traits or disorders. Genomics takes a broader approach, examining how genes work together. At Spital Clinic, our genetic testing services encompass both genetic and genomic approaches. We offer targeted genetic tests for specific conditions and comprehensive genomic screenings. Our genetic counsellors can explain how these different approaches might benefit your specific situation.
Genetic testing at Spital Clinic can provide valuable insights into your health. It can identify inherited conditions or predispositions to certain diseases.

At Spital Clinic, we offer a range of genetic tests tailored to your needs. Our genetic counsellors help interpret results and discuss their implications for you and your family.
Spital Clinic offers a comprehensive range of genetic tests. These include diagnostic tests to confirm or rule out genetic conditions.

"Great experience. Frustratingly we had 3 NIPTs come back with no result so had to do 3 blood redraws but thanks to LPC’s persistence we finally got a result on the 4th draw. After the 3rd no result they also kindly offered us a free anomaly scan."
"I had a surprisingly positive experience. The most friendly and helpful staff, clean and beautiful premises. The visit was smooth and quick but never felt rushed and I was able to ask all the questions I had. Thanks so much!"
"The service was exceptional from the moment we booked to the moment we left the building post our appointment. The lovely colleagues at the main desk were great and approachable. They made the whole process very comforting."
"I really recommend this clinic, everything was smooth and perfect. All staff are helpful and our sonographer Miss Shaz is an expert on her job, she is very kind and explained everything that we asked. I am glad to choose LPC."
