The Center for Personalized Diagnostics offers physicians the highest volume of genome testing in the region, with more than 4,000 clinical and research samples to date. More research means stronger, actionable results for your patients.

Genomic sequencing reports provided by the CPD are specifically geared toward actionable knowledge for clinicians. The reports focus on normal or abnormal gene information and provide interpretation, comments, and references for disease-associated mutations or variants of uncertain significance.

Learn more about the benefits of ordering a personalized diagnostic test, the different gene panels CPD offers analysis for, and how to request a test for your patient today.

How to Order a Test

This test is available for both Penn and non Penn physicians.

Physicians at Penn Medicine

  • All requests should be placed in PennChart as a special studies request on an AP consult orderable (for PennSeqTM Solid Tumor Panel or Fusion Transcript Panel) or a Hemepath consult orderable (for PennSeqTM Hematologic Malignancies Panel).
  • For all requests, a qualified Pathologist will review the submitted or available material to ensure there is adequate tumor present.
  • Appropriate and adequate samples will be routed to the CPD for DNA extraction and NGS testing, with results typically returned within 14-21 days.

Physicians Outside of Penn Medicine

Physicians outside the University of Pennsylvania Health Care System who are interested in the services of the CPD can contact the Laboratory directly.
