Panel Scale and Service Model

Genetidoc’s combined specialist panel now spans over 100,000 families and has performed approximately 65,000 genetic tests, covering prenatal diagnosis, rare childhood syndromes, hereditary cancer, metabolic disorders, and adult neurogenetic conditions. All consultations are delivered online via video or WhatsApp, with DNA sample collection arranged at the patient’s home or nearest clinic anywhere in India. Samples are processed at partner laboratories accredited by NABL and CAP, and clinical reporting is performed by Genetidoc’s own specialists. The panel offers consultations in ten languages: English, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, and Rajasthani.

Founder’s Comment

Dr. Roshan Daniel, Clinical Geneticist, Founder of Genetidoc, and Head of the Medical Genetics Department at KIMSHealth, Trivandrum, said: “Each addition to this panel fills a real gap — a state without a genetics specialist, a patient group being underserved, a clinical area that needed more depth. That is how we are building this network — not by adding names, but by adding access.”
