MNG Laboratories Introduces The Most Comprehensive Clinical GenomeMNG Laboratories is pleased to announce the launch of its most comprehensive clinical test ever, the MNGenome®. The MNGenome® is the most clinically comprehensive genome on the market, offering clinicians additional analysis not found in other genome sequencing products. In addition to sequencing of nuclear genes, the MNGenome® will also include mtDNA deletion, depletion, and heteroplasmy analysis, as well as single nucleotide resolution CNV detection. Other innovations include the ability to detect repeat expansions, novel junctions associated with CNVs, and uniparental disomy. Trio and proband-only testing will be available. "The addition of Illumina's NovaSeq to our technology platform has allowed us to take genome sequencing to a new level," noted MNG's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Peter L. Nagy, MD PhD. "In 2018 we will be able to offer our clients the most comprehensive diagnostic suite, by combining our new MNGenome®, our existing MNG Transcriptome™ and our upcoming methylome offering, we will be able to definitively inform as to whether a condition is of genetic origin." The MNGenome® can be used if other methods such as WES and CMA failed to provide diagnostic or prognostic insight into a patient's condition, or suggest a therapeutic approach. MNGenome® will increase the probability of a correct diagnosis and sutable treatment options. The MNGenome® includes:
