Bringing a new life into the world is filled with joy and anticipation—but also understandable concern about your child's health. When prenatal screening reveals potential issues, the wait for definitive answers can feel endless. At Praxis Genomics, we're revolutionizing prenatal diagnostics by reducing that wait from months to days.

A groundbreaking study demonstrates how combining optical genome mapping with whole genome sequencing can identify complex chromosomal rearrangements that traditional methods miss, leading to definitive diagnosis for patients with multisystem developmental disorders.

We are proud to announce our designation as an official service provider for Complete Genomics sequencing platforms, expanding our capacity to deliver cutting-edge genomic analysis with industry-leading accuracy and efficiency.

Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Peter Nagy, joins the DNA Today podcast to discuss how optical genome mapping and transcriptome analysis are revolutionizing genetic diagnostics for complex cases.

At the American Society of Human Genetics annual meeting, Dr. Peter Nagy presented groundbreaking research on combining optical genome mapping, whole genome sequencing, and transcriptome analysis to achieve unprecedented diagnostic success rates.

A comprehensive multisite assessment demonstrates optical genome mapping's superior performance in detecting structural variants, offering a validated alternative to traditional cytogenetic methods for constitutional postnatal cases.

Researchers develop an optimized computational method to infer family relationships up to the 4th degree from low-coverage ancient human genomes, enabling unprecedented insights into historical population structures and family networks across millennia.

Comprehensive genomic analysis of 15th-century Hungarian nobility demonstrates how integrating Y chromosome, mitochondrial, and autosomal DNA sequencing can trace family lineages and validate historical records through molecular evidence.

Advanced genomic sequencing techniques reveal the migrations and genetic legacy of nomadic empires that shaped European history, providing unprecedented insights into population movements across Eurasia over 1,500 years.

A landmark study demonstrates that combining whole genome sequencing with RNA sequencing provides diagnoses for 25% of patients with complex neurological conditions who had negative whole exome sequencing results—proving that comprehensive testing succeeds where traditional approaches fail.

In a bold move that would reshape genetic diagnostics, Praxis Genomics became one of the first clinical laboratories to adopt Bionano optical genome mapping technology, betting that structural variant detection would revolutionize rare disease diagnosis.

Whole Y chromosome sequencing of the 12th-century Hungarian King Béla III traces the Árpád Dynasty's paternal lineage to ancient Eurasian populations, demonstrating how modern genomic technologies can resolve centuries-old historical questions with unprecedented precision.
