Specialty Genomic Tests
Back to Cancer: Solid Tumours

A number of uncommon diagnostic tests will be delivered by specified GLHs within the GLH network.

Those delivered within the NE&Y GLH are shown below. Where these tests are not available within our GLH, please refer samples to your local genomics laboratory who will route these appropriately.

Below are details on how this testing is to be provided in the North East and Yorkshire by our Genomics Laboratory Hub.
