 Profiles:
    Professor Tsang-Ming Ko, who retired from Medical College, National Taiwan University five years ago,  set up a clinic and two core laboratories to provide clinical services, DNA paternity testing, karyotyping and genetic diagnosis of inherited diseases. Nearly ninety types of single gene diseases can be tested in our medical laboratory, GenePhile Bioscience Laboratory. Because of professional proficiency, GenePhile has been the only private laboratory accredited by DOH (Department of Health, Taiwan) and TAF (Taiwan Accreditation Foundation) to date. 

 

 News:
◆ High resolution cytogenomic array is available now (prenatal aCGH analysis)
  
- ISCA standard array
   
- 60,000
probes in a single detection
   - detect 99% known microdeletion syndromes
   - probes target to 500 diseases
 
◆ SMA carrier screening is available now
    In Taiwan, SMA is the second most common genetic disease, with a carrier rate of 1/35. If both parents carry the defective SMN gene, 1/4 of their offspring will be affected. We provide a direct, quick and reliable test to determine the status of the parents and fetus. <Details>
