Request / Find a Test Tool

The National Genomic Test Directories specify which genomic tests are commissioned by the NHS in England, to be delivered by Genomic Laboratory Hubs.

This tool allows clinical teams to search all of the genomic tests available to patients through the National Testing Directory. From here you can find out more details about each test and information about how to order them. These tests can only be ordered by clinical teams, if you are a patient looking to request a test please speak to your clinical team directly.

Gynandroblastoma; Genitourinary/gynaecologic neuroendocrine tumors; Childhood-onset multinodular goitre or differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary or follicular); Ciliary body medulloepithelioma; Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma; Pineoblastoma; Pituitary blastoma, OR
2. Testing of affected individual where there is a combination of two of the following diagnoses, either both in one affected individual or in two affected first degree relatives;
Lung cyst(s) in adults; Wilms tumor; Multinodular goiter or differentiated thyroid cancer; Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma other than thoracic or gynaecologic; Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumour;
