PAML offers a wide range of molecular-based technologies to improve patient care by providing highly sensitive and specific testing and timely result reporting.

Molecular testing makes it possible not only to diagnose specific genetic, pathogenic,  and oncologic diseases but also to monitor a patient’s disease over time, a feature that allows for timely patient management and treatment decisions. Furthermore, molecular genetic testing provides highly accurate negative-predictive values when screening for genetic mutations in cystic fibrosis and other diseases.

PAML’s molecular diagnostics laboratory offers DNA storage capabilities.

We also offer nucleic acid-based testing for the diagnosis of select genetic, infectious disease and oncologic anomalies including:

We provide a full range of molecular diagnostic and consulting services for adult, pediatric, and prenatal cases. We are committed to provide the highest quality of patient care and serve as competent and easily available consultants to our referring physicians. The molecular diagnostics laboratory staff includes a board-certified medical geneticist, who is available for consultation.
