Frequently Asked Questions

AMT provides specialized tests based on molecular biology testing using DNA, RNA, or proteins. These tests are more accurate than regular methods or in some cases are the only way to reliably test for some medical diseases and conditions covering cancer, STDs, tuberculosis, paternity DNA testing and newborn screening.

A. We provide molecular tests for 16 types of cancer as follows:

• Bladder Cancer
• Brain Cancer
• Cervical Cancer
• Colon Cancer
• Endometrial Cancer
• Gallbladder Cancer
• Liver Cancer
• Lung Cancer
• Kidney Cancer
• Oral Cancer
• Ovarian Cancer
• Pancreatic Cancer
• Prostate Cancer
• Skin Cancer
• Stomach Cancer
• Thyroid Cancer

B. We provide molecular testing for STDs including viral loads, where necessary and required as follows:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea
• HAV
• HBV
• HCV
• Hepatitis
• HIV
• HPV
• Syphilis
• Trichomoniasis

C. Tuberculosis:

We provide highly accurate molecular test to confirm acute or latent tuberculosis using PCR.

D. Paternity DNA Testing:

We provide testing to determine paternity using saliva samples.

E. Prenatal Testing:

From 9 weeks of pregnancy our non-invasive prenatal testing can use maternal blood sample to check for sex aneuploidies such as Down Syndrome, Edward Syndromes, Klinefelter’s Syndrome, Turner’s Syndrome, Sickle Cell Disease, etc., and fetal chromosomal abnormalities with a high level of accuracy and is completely safe for you and your baby. The baby gender is provided free of charge.

F. Disease Panels:

We offer gene panel testing for diseases such as epilepsy, abnormal mineralization, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ALS + dementia, ataxia + spastic paraplegia, blood coagulation, bone marrow failure + anemia, BRCA1 + BRCA2, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, connective tissue and related disorders, diabetes and obesity, intellectual disability, myeloid tumor, neuromuscular disease, pancreatitis, Parkinson's disease, pulmonary disease, and solid tumors.

G. Fertility Testing:

Our Fertility panel is recommended for couples trying to conceive for one year or longer, who have experienced more than one miscarriage, with irregular or absent menstruation, with low sperm count, form, or movement, or with absence of development of secondary sexual features. Knowing the exact cause of infertility allows for better clinical management and enables enhanced counseling and personalized reproductive care plan for couples. This panel option does not include sex chromosome aneuploidy, Y chromosome microdeletions and FMR1-related premature ovarian failure syndrome testing. For a more comprehensive analysis, please refer to our Fertility X and Fertility Y panels.

Our Fertility X panel is recommended for patients assigned female gender at birth trying to conceive for one year or longer, who have experienced more than one miscarriage, with irregular or absent menstruation, or with absence of development of secondary sexual features. Our panel includes the most important genes related to infertility in females. Knowing the exact cause of infertility allows for better clinical management and enables enhanced counseling and personalized reproductive care plan for couples. Includes MLPA for aneuploidy.

Our Fertility Y panel is recommended for patients assigned male gender at birth with known fertility problems, part of a couple that has experienced more than one miscarriage, with low sperm count, form, or movement, or with absence of development of secondary sexual features. Our panel includes the most important genes related to infertility in males. Knowing the exact cause of infertility allows for better clinical management and enables enhanced counseling and personalized reproductive care plan for couples. Includes MLPA for aneuploidy and the AZF region.

H. Newborn Screening

We offer several panels for newborn baby screening:

Economy Panel

• Sickle Cell Disease (SS, SC)
• HbE
• Beta-Thalassemia
• Congenital Hypothyroidism
• Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
• Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Standard Panel

• Sickle Cell Disease (SS, SC)
• HbE
• Beta-Thalassemia
• Galactosemia
• Congenital Hypothyroidism
• Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
• Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
• Phenylketonuria
• Biotinidase Deficiency
• Cystic Fibrosis

Advanced CentolCU Newborn Screening:

CentoICU is our advanced newborn screening indicated for newborns and children under 24 months presenting with unclear symptomatology which can be part of a genetic condition, such as: bleeding diathesis, blood abnormalities (anemia), bone fragility, failure to thrive, heart abnormality and arrhythmia, hepatospenomegaly, hypotonia, ichthyosis and epidermolysis bullosa, metabolic abnormalities, microcephaly, neutropenia, abnormal newborn screening results, respiratory failure, skeletal abnormalities and craniosynostosis, skin fragility, and unclear seizures.

The current prices of our specialized molecular tests start from ₦30,000 and goes all the way to ₦6 million. Details of prices are shown in the user dashboard after creating an account and logging in.

We have approved sample collection centers around the country. You can find one near you on our website. You may request home sample collection for an extra charge. You can indicate this at check out.

Tests are purchased, and payment made online on our website through the customer dashboard by debit card or bank transfer. This is the only way to buy our tests.

Test results are available in the customer dashboard. From there results can be downloaded or forwarded to your doctor.

Depending on the test, our turnaround time starts from roughly 2 weeks, and for certain advanced testing requiring DNA sequencing it may be as long as 5 to 6 weeks. We hope to offer an express service in the near future.

We maintain a roster of specialist doctors who patients are referred to for specialist care and follow-up. We also provide genetic counseling with many of the tests.

Our website and portals are protected by 128-bit SSL encryption, the strongest data protection protocol available and follows all policies, procedures, and standards of Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) as well as comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) policies of the European Union and the European Economic Area.

Testing is done in ISO- certified accredited laboratories in Nigeria, and others in partner labs in Germany, India, and USA.
