Bridge Genoma is the first independent laboratory in the UK dedicated to providing a comprehensive range of reproductive and preimplantation genetic tests to patients and partner clinics. Bridge Genoma brings together the skills of Professor Alan Handyside, who pioneered PGD and achieved the first PGD pregnancies, and Dr Francesco Fiorentino, who directs the GENOMA Laboratory, Rome, which is one of the main prenatal genetic testing laboratories in Italy and is a leading centre in Europe for preimplantation genetics specialising in HLA matching. The Genoma Laboratory is fully accredited and ISO 9001 compliant.

Genetic tests available include a broad range of diagnostic and other services:

• Mutation screening
• Bespoke test development for single gene defects by combined linkage and minisequencing
• HLA matching with and without single gene defect analysis
• Combined aneuploidy screening and testing for single gene defects
• Testing of polar bodies, single and small cell samples following embryo biopsy in a treatment cycle
• Aneuploidy screening by multicolour fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) for 5 or 7 chromosomes
• Testing for translocation chromosome imbalance by multicolour FISH
• Microarray analysis for X and Y chromosome deletions
• Reproductive pharmacogenomics
