The UKGTN has built on previous collaborative arrangements between clinical diagnostic laboratories that offer genetic testing services for patients and their families who have, or may be at risk of, a genetic disorder. UKGTN laboratories adhere to high standards for quality and clinical governance. The tests they offer first undergo a rigorous process of evaluation to ensure their scientific validity and clinical utility.

The work of the UKGTN with its partners and the member laboratories ensures the high standards demanded within the modern healthcare setting.
