In 2007, the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Technology was at the crest of realizing high throughput and prevision genetic testing for multigene and complex genetic diseases. Professors from the Emory University School of Medicine founded Otogenetics with support from National Institute of Health (NIH) to develop and provide the most advanced genetic testing to the research institutions and clinical care providers.

Otogenetics began offering NGS as a service to the commercial market in 2011 and launched its first clinical genetic test in the same year; – sequencing more than 100 genes associated with Syndromic and Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss. Since, the company has served both renowned Academic and Research Institutions and Clinical Diagnostic Laboratories in more than 30 countries. Our US customers include National Institute of Health (NIH), Center for Disease Control, (CDC), Harvard University, Stanford University, University of California San Francisco, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and accredited clinical laboratories.

Otogenetics was among the first laboratory in the USA to enroll in CAP NGS proficiency tests and received 100% accuracy each time. The company holds CLIA Certification and is licensed in Georgia, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and New York* to provide clinical genetic testing. Otogenetics is CAP-accredited for NGS testing.

Test offering now includes Single Gene and Expanded Carrier Screening, NIPT, Molecular Screening of Congenital Hearing Loss, Familial Hypercholesterolemia, Familial Hyperlipidemia, Nonsyndromic Monogenic Obesity Gene Testing, Diabetes MODY Gene Testing, Familial Early-onset Alzheimer Disease Risk Gene Testing, Hereditary Cancer Risk Assessment, clinical exome, rare diseases, and other tests for personalized medicine or clinical trials.

NGS performed by Otogenetics provide clinicians and researchers with test results for genetic diagnoses and risk assessment and have resulted in the publications after rigorous expert reviews in highly reputable biomedical journals including Nature and Nature Medicine, attesting to the high caliber and quality of the gene panel design offered by the company. Otogenetics has also assisted medical schools in training a new generation of medical students in precision medicine. Selected publications and white papers are found above on the publications tab.

In response to COVID-19 in 2020, Otogenetics validated highly sensitive molecular testing for COVID-19. In addition, Otogenetics works directly with a CMO/OEM manufacturer with extensive experience in lateral flow rapid detection device manufacturing and validated  highly sensitive and specific testing for COVID-19 IgM/IgG antibodies. Otogenetics also worked with a manufacturer and validated a COVID-19 PCR test that is among the most sensitive PCR test using FDA standard samples.
