Pharmacogenomics (PGx)
Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing allows you to personalise your patient’s medication according to their genetic variation.
Reproductive carrier screening
RANZCOG recommends that information about reproductive carrier screening for common disorders be offered to every woman either prior to conception (preferred) or in early pregnancy.
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)
We use a variety of platforms for NIPT, including the Harmony® prenatal test and VeriSeq NIPT Solution v2 assay, that are used worldwide and are accredited for use in our Australian laboratories.
Lactose intolerance
Sonic Genetics offers a genetic test to assist in the diagnosis of lactose intolerance in both children and adults.
Familial hypercholesterolaemia
Genetic testing now has a key role in the management of hypercholesterolaemia. Medicare rebated testing is now available through Sonic Genetics.
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)
This is a DNA-based blood test performed on the expectant mother that screens for several common genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome and can identify the baby’s sex.
Lactose intolerance
There is now a genetic test to confirm if you can digest the sugar called lactose found in milk and other dairy products. If you can’t then you are likely lactose intolerant.
Pharmacogenomics (PGx)
The Sonic PGx panel is a genetic test that helps your doctor to provide the optimal prescription for you based on your genes.
Reproductive carrier screening
A reproductive carrier screen is a blood test of the parents. It looks to see if they carry genetic changes (mutations) that could cause certain genetic conditions in their child.
