From Primary Sample through to Secondary Analysis, AGRF Clinical offers accredited genomic testing to support diagnosis, treatment and patient care.
Chromosomal and constitutional testing - array genotyping using Illumina Infinium Global Screening Array (GSA) and Global Diversity Array (GDA) for CNV detection, cytogenetics, and disease association studies
Oncology panels - Illumina TruSight Oncology 500 for comprehensive cancer profiling (523 DNA genes + 55 RNA genes, MSI, TMB, CNV, fusions)
Exome sequencing - Broad/Twist Alliance Clinical Exome panel with enhanced coverage of clinically relevant regions and mtDNA
Whole genome sequencing - complete genomic coverage for complex or undiagnosed conditions
Pharmacogenomics - variant analysis for drug response (including CYP2D6 and HLA haplotypes)
Polygenic risk assessment - Allelica-powered insights into complex disease risk (Research Use Only; not ISO15189 accredited)
Reproductive carrier screening - accredited testing for CFTR, SMN1/2, and FMR1
Variant confirmation - Sanger sequencing for validation of clinically significant findings
Clinical trials - integrated genomics and proteomics solutions to support trial design, biomarker discovery, and data generation for clinical studies
