About us

genomic genetic

At Genomic Genetics, we understand the special genetic makeup of individuals descended from diverse cultures and ethnicities. Often our dynamic mix of physical and genetic features can make it difficult to find a stem cell/bone marrow match for those suffering from hematological and auto-immune diseases. We specialize in finding suitable matches for individuals of various descents and rare gene pools, ensuring their best chance at finding the right fit – and ultimately a healthier future.

History

Genomic Genetics is an extension of Integrated Genetics, the consulting arm of the Caribbean Bone Marrow Registry, which began operations in 2014. Our operations have extended from the region, USA, , Latin America, Canada, Europe and the Middle East, providing a myriad of services to our patients.

We have been published twice, the latest as part of the 17thInternational Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Workshop.

Most importantly patients have had successful transplants and treatments and lives have been saved.

We are committed to helping our patients and their families achieve the best treatment and health possible.

"The language of success in any endeavor, is the satisfaction of a job well done.  This is measured by the twin criteria of doing your best and achieving results. Genomic Genetics is dedicated to this end, of making sure, that all our patients and clients, receive our best, which is quality work, customer service and contribution, to the discipline and the world."
- Arthur Dunk

Healthy services and treatments impact your blood, but they can also significantly impact your health, happiness, and quality of life.

We understand the many factors that can impact a waitlist candidate’s access to transplant, including biological or social factors such as blood type, education, gender, race or ethnicity, or whether they live in a rural versus an urban community.

Transplanting Hope: How the U.S. is Saving Lives Around the World

In 1954, medical science made a breakthrough when the kidney was successfully transplanted, a feat that seemed impossible before then. However, until the early 1980s, organ rejection threatened to limit the number of life-saving operations performed. But with advancements in research and treatment of organ rejection, more and more people were able to receive the gift of life through successful transplantations.

Today, thanks to constant improvement and innovation in organ donation and recovery processes, the United States boasts one of the best systems for such procedures in the world. Countless lives have been saved as a result, providing hope for those who find themselves in need of a transplant from anywhere in the world.

Understanding the Genomics and Genetics of Cancer

Treating cancer is no longer one size fits all. Doctors now know that cancer is as unique as the person that has it since cancer develops when genes start to change, or mutate, within the structure of normal cells.

HLA Testing

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system plays a fundamental role in immune responses and compatibility between individuals. HLA testing involves analyzing specific genes within the HLA complex to identify unique genetic markers, known as HLA alleles.
