Next-Gen Sequencing Enters the Clinical Space

Genomics and Pathology Services at Washington University St. Louis (GPS@WUSTL)  is a state-of-the-art CAP/CLIA accredited laboratory offering these client-specific testing services:  

• clinical next generation sequencing,
• Sanger sequencing,
• microarray, and
• cytogenetic analyses

Our comprehensive test panels allow for cost effective and efficient analysis of clinically actionable biomarkers spanning a wide range of diseases. We currently offer a specialized oncology test panel for a number of solid tumor and hematologic malignancies directly applicable to diagnosis and prognosis (click here to see our Services).  The analysis of the disease-specific gene targets, when considered with other pathology findings, aids in the stratification of disease and elucidates optimal treatment strategies.  Expert faculty members from the Departments of Genetics and Pathology are available for clinical testing guidance and consultation.  Please contact us for further information.
