Rare Disease Genetics Lab Build-Outs
Specialized Laboratory Infrastructure for Rare & Undiagnosed Conditions
Precision Lab Builds designs rare disease genetics laboratory build-outs for healthcare organizations focused on identifying and understanding genetic conditions that affect small or underserved patient populations. These laboratories support advanced genomic testing workflows used to investigate inherited, complex and previously undiagnosed disorders.
Rare disease genetics labs are typically built as high-complexity clinical genomics environments, integrating molecular genetics, next generation sequencing (NGS) and advanced data interpretation capabilities.
What Is a Rare Disease Genetics Laboratory?
A rare disease genetics lab is a specialized laboratory designed to analyze genetic variations associated with uncommon or poorly understood conditions. These labs often play a critical role in shortening diagnostic timelines for patients with long-standing or unexplained symptoms.
Such laboratories frequently operate within broader clinical genomics programs and require flexible infrastructure to support evolving test menus and research-informed workflows.
