Mount Elizabeth Novena Centre for Genomic Health

The Mount Elizabeth Novena Centre for Genomic Health is a specialist genomics unit housed within Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital — one of Singapore's leading private tertiary hospitals operated by Parkway Pantai, part of IHH Healthcare. The centre provides clinical genetic testing and genetic counselling services for individuals and families seeking to understand their hereditary disease risks. The centre's core focus is clinical genetic testing: cancer predisposition panels (including BRCA1/2 for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome for colorectal and endometrial cancer, and broader multi-gene hereditary cancer panels), cardiovascular genetic risk assessment (inherited cardiomyopathies, familial hypercholesterolaemia, channelopathies, and hereditary arrhythmia syndromes), and rare disease genetic workups. Pharmacogenomic testing is also available to guide medication prescribing based on individual genetic metabolism profiles. All testing is supported by accredited genetic counsellors who guide patients through the pre-test consent process, help contextualise risk findings within their family history, and provide post-result counselling to ensure findings translate into actionable clinical management. Where genetic variants of clinical significance are identified, the centre coordinates with the relevant specialist — oncologist, cardiologist, or endocrinologist — within the Parkway network for comprehensive follow-up care. The centre is located on the premises of Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital in Novena, a medical hub district in central Singapore. It serves both local patients and the hospital's significant international medical tourism population (~30% of patients are medical tourists), making it one of the most accessible private clinical genomics services in Southeast Asia.
