NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – LABS and Ambry Genetics today announced a deal for

the provision of testing services in reproductive health.

The deal, which the two firms said will result in services being available to a

wider client base, will make Ambry the preferred provider of genetic carrier

screening for LABS. Under the terms of the deal, LABS' customers will be able to

access AmbryScreen, a genetic screen for identifying carriers of severe and

common childhood diseases affecting pan-ethnic populations, the companies said

in a joint statement.

" This partnership brings two premier laboratories together to offer new donor
