Genetic Studies

Genetic Studies

State-of-the-art genetics laboratory supporting advanced genetic studies, offering comprehensive solutions for cutting-edge research and personalized medicine.

Overview

Turkey's First Clinical Trial-Dedicated Genetics Laboratory

Established in 2019, Omega Genetics is Turkey's first and only dedicated clinical trial genetics laboratory. Our state-of-the-art facility provides comprehensive genomic and molecular analysis services specifically designed to support clinical research, biomarker discovery, and the growing field of personalized medicine.

Our integrated approach combines next-generation sequencing (NGS), whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing (WGS/WES), targeted gene panels, and liquid biopsy technologies with expert bioinformatics support. We translate complex genetic data into clinically meaningful outcomes that support patient stratification, companion diagnostic development, and regulatory submissions.

All workflows are validated under GCLP (Good Clinical Laboratory Practice) and ICH-GCP guidelines, with ALCOA+ data integrity principles ensuring audit-ready, regulatory-grade results accepted by FDA, EMA, and TİTCK.

Genomic Capabilities

Sequencing & Molecular Analysis Platform

NGS / WGS / WES

Whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, and targeted gene panels for germline and somatic variant detection with clinical-grade coverage.

RNA Sequencing

Bulk RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq for gene expression profiling, fusion gene detection, and transcriptome-based biomarker discovery.

Liquid Biopsy / ctDNA

Circulating tumor DNA analysis for minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring, treatment response assessment, and resistance mutation detection.

Sanger & MLPA

Sanger sequencing for variant confirmation and MLPA for copy number variation (CNV) detection — gold-standard orthogonal validation methods.

Pharmacogenomics

CYP450 panel, HLA typing, drug metabolism genotyping, and pharmacogenomic profiling for personalized dosing and adverse event prediction.

Bioinformatics & CDx

In-house bioinformatics pipeline for variant calling, annotation (ACMG/AMP), and companion diagnostic (CDx) assay development and validation.
