CGC Genetics offers a broad menu of over 1,500 molecular diagnostic, cytogenetic and clinical genomic CLIA laboratory tests that cover all the major disciplines of medicine. One of the company's product offerings is a microarray panel for the molecular diagnosis of Noonan and other genetically related syndromes.

This prenatal diagnostic test was developed to complement clinical diagnosis in cases where there is a suspicion of Noonan Syndrome, as increased nuchal translucency with normal chromosomes. The most frequent gene mutations associated with Noonan's as well as other genetically related syndromes are examined in this single test.

A total of 52 point mutations are examined that are associated with Nonnan as well as a differential diagnosis for Costello, Leopard and Cardiofaciocutaneous syndromes.
