About Us
Changing Lives Through Genomics
GeneticLab is a specialised clinical genetics laboratory based in Sharjah, UAE. We support patients, physicians, fertility clinics, and hospitals across the UAE and the wider region.
By combining advanced genetic testing technologies with in-house clinical interpretation, we aim to provide accurate and meaningful results that help healthcare professionals make informed clinical decisions.
Our Story
Since 2000, GeneticLab has been guided by a simple principle: a genetic result is valuable when it helps determine the right next step in a patient’s care.
Our services include reproductive genetics, prenatal testing, molecular screening and diagnosis, and cytogenetics. With testing performed in-house, we maintain greater control over sample handling and turnaround times while allowing our genetic specialists to review cases as medical knowledge continues to develop.
We also believe that genetic testing should be supported by clear guidance. That is why counselling is an important part of our services, helping patients and healthcare professionals understand and use genetic results effectively.
BGI Genomics Partnership
GeneticLab is a UAE provider of BGI Genomics technologies, offering internationally validated genetic testing and screening platforms to patients and healthcare professionals across the Emirates.
Our services include:
- BGI COLOTECT – stool-based DNA methylation screening for colorectal cancer
- NIFTY – non-invasive prenatal testing
- BGI Xome – whole-exome sequencing
- BGI VISTA – expanded carrier screening
These services are supported by local clinical interpretation and genetic counselling.
