Success Stories

KKH launches RapidSeq (Rapid Genomic Sequencing test) to provide a genetic diagnosis within two weeks for the critically ill.

The typical turnaround time for standard sequencing reports range from three months to years. By using advancements in genomic sequencing, the KKH team has successfully reduced the results turnaround time to 10 working days. This allows for identification of underlying genetic problem, allowing faster diagnosis and treatment.
