UNVEILING THE SECRETS TO YOUR DNA

At A-Plus Clinical Laboratory, we go beyond traditional genetic testing by offering cutting-edge OPTICAL GENOME MAPPING (OGM). Africa's first!

This revolutionary technology takes genetic testing to a whole new level by providing a high-resolution view of your entire genome, revealing intricate details that conventional standard of care testing may miss.

What is Optical Genome Mapping?

Think of your DNA as a complex instruction manual for your body. Traditional genetic testing focuses on specific snippets of this code. OGM allows us to visualize the entire "blueprint" at a much higher resolution, which reads the genetic code letter by letter.

OGM visualizes the physical arrangement of your DNA molecules, highlighting:

Large-scale variations: OGM excels at detecting significant rearrangements within your DNA, like deletions, duplications, or inversions, that can play a role in various health conditions.

Hidden rearrangements: Traditional tests may miss complex structural changes, but OGM's high resolution unveils these hidden variations, providing a more complete picture.

Enhanced accuracy: OGM offers superior precision compared to standard methods, leading to more reliable and conclusive results
