Request / Find a Test Tool

The National Genomic Test Directories specify which genomic tests are commissioned by the NHS in England, to be delivered by Genomic Laboratory Hubs.

This tool allows clinical teams to search all of the genomic tests available to patients through the National Testing Directory. From here you can find out more details about each test and information about how to order them. These tests can only be ordered by clinical teams, if you are a patient looking to request a test please speak to your clinical team directly.

Overlapping idications

• R314 Ambiguous genitalia presenting neonatally should be used to establish karyotypic sex in urgent neonatal situations • R180 Congenital adrenal hyperplasia diagnostic test should be used before the panel test where CAH is the likely diagnosis; the common CAH gene CYP21A2 is too complex to examine using a next generation sequencing test under this indication • R297: Possible structural chromosomal rearrangement - karyotype may be required to identify structural sex chromosome abnormalities which might not be detected via common aneuploidy testing
