The UAE has launched its first-ever Genome Centre in the country.
According Al Jalila Children's Speciality Hospital, the centre has its very own diagnostic laboratory, a fully equipped clinic and will provide genetic counselling to support patients, families, and other doctors.
The centre will offer the regional community complex genetic testing at a faster and more cost-effective rate than other labs around the world.
This will also help provide effective treatments for children and adults.
