ISO 15189:2022 Accredited · Level 3 Biosafety Laboratory
Genomic Diagnostics
Genomic testing looks at inherited genetic material rather than at an infection or a metabolite. It answers a different kind of question — about predisposition and relationship rather than current disease activity.
Recognised capability
Everight's genetic and genomic work runs through the Centre for Molecular Science and Genetic Studies and the accredited laboratory in Abuja.
That laboratory was recognised as the first corporate member of the Nigeria Society for Human Genetics, and the first laboratory to achieve ISO 15189 certification in histopathology in Nigeria.
A genetic result can concern more than one person
Genetic findings can carry implications for relatives as well as for you. They should be interpreted by a qualified clinician who knows your history — never read in isolation.
