EpiSign

Greenwood Diagnostic Laboratories in partnership with London Health Science Centre present EpiSign!

EpiSign is the first clinical assay designed to readily identify proven and reproducible epigenetic signatures by assessing genome-wide methylation.

EpiSign has multiple applications in the clinical setting by providing an additional diagnostic tool beyond the current sequencing and copy number technology paradigm.  EpiSign can detect multiple methylation abnormalities associated with certain imprinting or triplet repeat conditions via a targeted analysis of the associated gene or region. This test can also identify disease-specific methylation patterns involving multiple loci across the genome. 

Assessment of these distinct methylation patterns can be a useful screening tool for these disorders in the diagnostic work-up or can be applied in a more targeted fashion to help resolve variants of uncertain clinical significance.

Version 5 launched February 2024 increasing the number to more than 90 identifiable conditions.


One Assay. Two Options.

Episign is offered as two different tests to suit the needs of your patient.

EpiSign Complete v5
A comprehensive analysis of more than 90 conditions.

EpiSign Variant   
A targeted review of the methylation data intended to resolve variants of uncertain clinical significance.

Meet Nora

Meet the Eysen family! Two-year-old Nora was diagnosed with Infantile Pompe disease at birth. Her family received much-needed information and support in those first days from the Greenwood Genetic Center, and thanks to a quick diagnosis, Nora is on treatment, healthy, and thriving. And she is now a proud big sister!...
