Michigan Medical Genetics Laboratories (MMGL)

The Michigan Medical Genetics Laboratories (MMGL) are comprehensive CAP/CLIA certified clinical genetics testing laboratories based in the University of Michigan's Department of Pediatrics whose goals are to provide state of the art testing for rare genetic diseases, which in aggregate affect the lives of a high percentage of admissions to C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. There are two separate MMGL sections, one for metabolic or biochemical genetic diseases such as those on the newborn screen and one for DNA based molecular methods for inherited conditions.
