Philosophy

     The DNA Diagnostic Laboratory is a non-profit, academic service lab established at Johns Hopkins in 1979.  We believe that when considering molecular genetic testing, the most important attribute of a clinical laboratory is commitment to diagnostic accuracy.  We fulfill this commitment through insistence on high quality data and comprehensive result interpretation. 
This site is intended for the use of health care providers and we are not able to consult directly with patients.  Health care providers and patients may find some helpful resources on our Patient and Family Page.
