Genetics is both the past and the future of your health.
The history and part of the potential future of every individual is written in their DNA.
Advances in genetic medicine now make it possible to understand your inherited risk of developing conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), hereditary cancers, metabolic disorders and other genetic conditions. Genetic testing can also support prenatal and preconception planning by identifying inherited abnormalities such as cystic fibrosis, in-born errors of metabolism (IEM) and thalassaemia. Genetic services include both the clinical and laboratory testing.
Our certified clinical geneticists diagnose genetic conditions and help individuals and families understand their inherited health risks. They provide personalised risk assessments, develop multidisciplinary care plans, recommend tailored health strategies, and advise family members on potential inherited risks.
By integrating the latest genetic technologies with comprehensive and compassionate healthcare, we provide services including:
- Preconception and prenatal genetic testing
- Medical genetics consultations
- Hereditary cancer risk assessments
- Cardiovascular genetic risk evaluation
- Pre-marital genetic screening and counselling
- Newborn genetic screening
- Advanced Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) testing
What is genetic testing through Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)?
- Genes are segments of DNA that provide instructions for how your body grows, functions and maintains itself.
- Exons are the parts of genes that tell your body how to work.
- Whole exome sequencing is the process of analysing all a person’s known exons to see if they are working correctly. Any mutations in a person’s exons can cause or predispose to diseases and health risks.
- Whole exome sequencing allows your physician to get the fullest picture of known genetic mutations that may indicate certain heart conditions.
WES is particularly valuable in identifying:
- Carrier status in healthy couples who wish to assess the risk of inherited genetic conditions in their future children
- Cardiogenetic related diseases
- Hereditary oncogenetic disorders
- Newborn genetic and metabolic risk
Early identification allows for preventive strategies, accurate risk stratification plan, prevention of complications, personalised surveillance plans and informed reproductive planning.
Our Genetic Screening Packages across all Mediclinic Middle East Facilities
As part of our expanded genetics services, Mediclinic offers specialised packages tailored to different life stages and health goals.
Oncogenetic Package
Cancer remains our greatest health challenge, yet for too long, we have only reacted to it after symptoms appear. We are now entering a new era of proactive care.
Genetic screening isn't just about predicting the future; it’s about gaining the "biological intelligence" needed to change it. In some individuals, the identification of specific markers today can unlock a personal roadmap for prevention.
This personalised advice gives you the power to make smarter lifestyle choices and access treatment options as unique as your own DNA. Don’t wait for a diagnosis - use your genetic code to protect your future.

Cardiogentic Package
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of health concerns worldwide, yet many of the factors that influence your heart are invisible to the naked eye. While we often focus on what we eat and how we move, our baseline risk is frequently written in our DNA long before symptoms appear.
Your genes hold answers that can shape a healthier future. Discover your personalised risk of heart disease with Mediclinic’s Genetic Cardiovascular Screening Package, designed to guide smarter lifestyle and prevention choices.

Premarital Genetic Risk Screening Packages
Begin your life together with clarity, confidence and a shared understanding of your health. Mediclinic’s Pre-marital Screening packages offer comprehensive insights into genetic background, infectious disease status and future family health risks. Through advanced laboratory testing and expert counselling, couples receive personalised guidance to support informed decision-making and long-term wellbeing.
These packages are ideal for couples preparing for marriage and future family planning.
Please note: these are optional health assessments and do not replace official court-mandated marriage screening.

Newborn Genetic Screening Package
Newborn health is one of the most critical foundations for lifelong well-being. With advances in genetic medicine, we are now able to detect certain rare but actionable conditions early in life, often before symptoms appear.
Newborn genetic screening provides valuable biological insights that enable early diagnosis and timely intervention. This proactive approach allows healthcare providers and families to take informed steps that can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.
This package is ideal for parents seeking a proactive approach to their newborn’s health and development.
Please note: Newborn Genetic Screening complements, but does not replace, standard biochemical newborn screening performed during the first days of life.
