The Power through Knowledge is a famous slogan signifying deep sincere efforts of COMS to achieve excellence in many of ours genomic medicine diagnostic and research services aimed primarily at making the humanity free from genetic diseases. To realize this dream, a service workforce comparable to the best in the world has been created armed with the skills under the umbrella of COMS. This is why the COMS gets its birth. COMS lays emphasis on all sorts of services dealing with cytogenetic, molecular, biotechnological and diagnostics. Dealing in major research projects is another active area. Accreditation, training programs and educational research is pursued to disseminate knowledge. A separate COMS Publication Division is a significant move to present findings at international level. More important, COMS specializes to provide individual or peer to peer consultations. Some of these services are elaborated in a comprehensive way.

COMS provides all types of scientific and applied contractual consultations through a team of specialized persons. Our genetic counsellors are well versed with recent trends and include health professionals fully qualified with specialized graduate degrees and experience in medical genetics and counselling. Trained professionals help an individual or family to:

Apprise of the medical facts, diagnosis, course and pattern of disorder along with possible managementExplain how heredity contributes to a specific disorder with chances of recurrenceSuggest alternatives dealing with the risk of recurrencePropose course of action based on risk of a patient, family expectation, and ethical and religious believesDevelop resources and strategies to suitably cope with the situation more deeply.

Individual and Family Level Consultations

COMS gives health care providers unparallel access in medical genetics and clinical genomics expertise through Center of Excellence in Genomic Medicine Research (CEGMR). Our staff consists of geneticists certified in clinical, medical and biochemical area with specialties in paediatrics, internal medicine, maternal fetal medicine, neurology and in other relevant fields. Our group of laboratory directors are experts in all facets of the interpreting genomic information of patients. The peer to peer consultancy provides a full range of services on clinical interpretation of genomic data to second opinion required in the significance of genetic variants identified by other clinical laboratories also.

These services are mainly provided by Diagnostic Genomic Medicine Unit, DGMU. The COMS/DGMU Cytogenetic Laboratory provides routine and high-resolution karyotyping, Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), and Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). Diagnostic services for prenatal and postnatal congenital disorders and neoplastic/oncologic disorders are routinely performed. The prenatal indications: abnormal fetal ultrasound, advanced maternal age, parental balanced chromosome rearrangement, and positive maternal serum screening – indicates an increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormality. While, postnatal clinical indications include: dysmorphic features, congenital anomalies, developmental delay, mental retardation, infertility and multiple spontaneous abortions.

DGMU is College of American Pathologist (CAP)accredited unit authenticating that the laboratory meets the highest possible quality control standards. We offer a competitive price list for wide range of Cytogenetic and genetic tests including prenatal, postnatal and oncology genetic analysis.It has a team of highly competent and qualified consultants, medical scientists and technologists certified by the Saudi commission for Health Specialties.
