Founded in 2016, the company's vision was to bring a dynamic approach to the distribution of genetic testing to the UK market and fill a niche in the market by offering a consultative-distributor model for industry leading brands.
After just a year of trading and recognising the need for distributors of quality genetic tests in the UK, the business successfully launched two brands, OncoDNA and Color. Early in 2020, Everything Genetic Limited became one of the first-to-market and UK-government approved providers of Covid testing in response to the pandemic, and in 2021 launched five new genetic testing services across their cancer and wellness portfolio.
Everything Genetic Limited now boast a diverse portfolio of genetic testing services across the clinical pathway from genetic predisposition, diagnostics, and prognostics, through to theranostic, and have recently developed their own-brand assay panels for genetic testing in a UK laboratory.
Everything Genetic Limited offer a wrap-around clinical support service to ensure that all customers taking a genetic test are informed about its purpose, what the results mean and are provided with a clear pathway for onward treatment if necessary.
