Please note, from 26/11/20 the testing for Huntington disease will be forwarded to the Sheffield regional genetics laboratory for testing.
For any referrals received outside of Wales or the UK after the 26/11/20, in the short term we will be happy to forward the sample to the Sheffield regional genetics laboratory for testing, however we would ask that you consider making arrangements to send samples directly to the Sheffield laboratory for HD analysis beyond this. Details of the Sheffield regional genetics laboratory are listed below.
The current NHS cost for diagnostic testing at the Sheffield regional genetics laboratory is £85 and £160 for predictive testing. The turnaround time is 28 calendar days for diagnostic tests and 14 calendar days for predictive testing.
No other services within the laboratory are affected by this suspension and we are happy to continue to receive samples for other services for testing.
If you would like to discuss further, please contact Michelle Wood using the contact information denoted above.
