Centro de Biología Molecular
A Genetic Reference Laboratory for reference laboratories
GENETAQ is a company specialized in
Molecular Diagnostics, carrying out genetics and
other special testing for clinical laboratories and hospitals.
GENETAQ is one of the most advanced laboratories in molecular
diagnostics in Spain. Since 1998, the researching department has been
improving constantly, carrying out an important investment in
technology resources in order to satisfy clients’ needs and to
maintain the highest quality of genetic testing services.
GENETAQ is a benchmark as a Genetic Reference Center
for molecular diagnostics in our country, highlighting
its specialization in Rare Genetic Diseases.
GENETAQ is also an accredited laboratory for human forensics.
GENETICS RARE
DISEASES
GENETAQ provides support for clinic diagnostics:
- Interpretation and assessment of results
- Genetic advise for professionals
GENETICS RARE
DISEASES
GENETAQ is specialized in rare genetic diseases such as:
- Metabolic diseases (e.g. Glycogenosis)
- Cardiac diseases (e.g. Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy)
- Endocrine diseases (e.g. Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome)

GENOMIC PROFILES
GENETAQ has also developed three genomic profiles to assess health risks and
personalize health interventions.
These profiles are very useful in preventive anti-aging and sport medicine
and for preventing obesity.

MICROBIOLOGY
Microbiology testing with clinical applications
Testing for most viruses, bacterial and parasites are available.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Detection and Typification
is also available
FORENSICS
GENETAQ is also an accredited laboratory for human forensics,
offering paternity and maternity testing, genetic profiling (mainly for adopted
children), and others forensics testing following the official guideline of the
GEP-ISFH group and taking part in exhaustive quality controls
so that the forensics testing had legal validity.
