Ensure full examination package to your patients 

We offer examinations that are covered by Genetika Plzeň.

Types of examinations:

• Mutations of congenital thrombotic conditions – Leiden and prothrombin mutations. This examination is recommended for people who have suffered from thrombosis or embolism.
• Gilbert syndrome – molecular-genetic confirmation of benign hyperbilirubinemia.
• Haemochromatosis – the most common monogenic hereditary disorder leading to excessive iron accumulation in the hepatocytes and in the pancreas. The test is suitable for persons with elevated Fe, ALT, AST values, and with prolonged prothrombin time.
• Predisposition alleles for coeliac disease – individuals with reduced appetite, flatulence, constipation, anaemia, osteoporosis, increased tooth decay, joint pain, fatigue, infertility, and spontaneous abortions. If a patient has some of these symptoms and simultaneously carries predisposing alleles for celiac disease, it is recommended to follow a gluten-free diet.
• Lactose intolerance – intolerance to lactose afflicts about 10% of the Czech population, most often manifested by increased bloating, abdominal pain, or loose stools after consuming milk or dairy products containing lactose (milk sugar).
• Oncopanel of 22 genes analysed by NGS – these genes are mainly associated with the hereditary occurrence of breast, ovarian or colon cancers. This examination is suitable for individuals who had suffered from these diseases before the age of 50, or if they have a family history of one of these conditions in at least two generations in individuals under the age of 50.
• We can refer patients for consultation in case of other monogenic hereditary disorders, that have already occurred in the family – primarily neurological diseases (Hereditary Motor-Sensory Neuropathy, Huntington's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia... ), kidney disorders (polycystic kidney disease, Alport syndrome...), cardiological diseases (Marfan syndrome and other connective tissue disorders, hereditary cardiomyopathies) or hearing disorders. In these cases, we perform a genetic consultation, informing the patient about the risk and significance of the test, and send the isolated DNA for testing to specialised laboratories in the Czech Republic or abroad.
• Examination of couples planning to conceive and having a congenital developmental defect or another hereditary disease. Following the genetic examination, the aim is to familiarize the couple with the genetic risk to their offspring and, alternatively, suggest eligible preventive measures (assisted reproduction with preimplantation genetic diagnostics and transfer of an embryo unaffected by the hereditary disorder).

All of the above examinations are indicated by a clinical geneticist and are covered by Genetika Plzeň.
