National Center of Genetics
The National Center of Genetics (NCG) of the LNS covers all areas of human genetics, including clinical genetics, genetic counselling and an extensive spectrum of genetic diagnostics, from conventional karyotyping to modern next generation sequencing (NGS).
The NCG offers genetic consultations and diagnostics to individuals and their families, e.g. in the context of familial predisposition to cancer, rare hereditary diseases, or prenatal genetics and family planning. In addition, we are continuously establishing new techniques and expanding our diagnostic portfolio to ensure state-of-the-art patient care.

Quality Coordinator
"In August 2019, the National Center of Genetics implemented expanded Non-Invasive Prenatal test (NIPT) as a first-tier screening for all pregnant women in Luxembourg. The test is universally reimbursed by CNS. Since then, we have tested more than 35000 patients with a turn-around time of maximum 10 days."
