A Passion for Precision
As one of the pioneers in clinical next generation sequencing (NGS) and one of the largest sequencing facilities in the world, Myriad Women’s Health’s CLIA laboratory has tested over one million samples. With a relentless dedication to qualify and passion for providing the best care to our patients, we have developed a new paradigm of precision manufacturing at scale.
Our Technology
Myriad Women’s Health has applied expertise in assay chemistry, software engineering, and automation to improve qualify of all aspects of laboratory testing, from accessing and reagent manufacturing to result reporting.
Because manual processes are the most common cause of laboratory error, we have eliminated almost all manual sample transfers and manual transcription.
In order to ensure the highest quality results, the raw data for all reportable results are reviewed by licensed personnel.
Peer-Reviewed Validation
Myriad Women’s Health sequencing tests are designed to the highest quality standards.
Our validation studies have demonstrated the Foresight® Carrier Screen has greater than 99.99% analytical sensitivity and specificity.
Scientists and Genetic Experts
All of Myriad Women’s Health clinical laboratory scientists who work directly with patient samples or review results are licensed by the California Department of Public Health. They play an active role in partnering with R&D in the development of new test methods and perform validations.
Our board-certified laboratory support genetic counselors play a key role in addressing questions from healthcare providers regarding Myriad Women’s Health’s genetic testing services. They also review test reports to help ensure clinical accuracy and serve as liaisons to assist with laboratory-related requests
Variant Curators
Myriad Women’s Health’s team of expert variant curators are MS/PhD scientists and certified genetic counselors with multidisciplinary expertise in clinical counseling, biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, cell biology, population genetics, and bioinformatics. With 120+ years of combined curation experience, our team has classified more than 20,000 variants at Myriad Women’s Health to date.
