Houston, Texas, February 13, 2014 - Gene by Gene, Ltd., a Houston-based genetic testing company for health and ancestry research, announced today that their genetic testing laboratory is now CAP accredited. The accreditation was based on a recent on-site visit by CAP inspectors and a detailed review of staff qualifications, facilities, laboratory records, protocols and quality control procedures.
Gene by Gene joins an elite group of laboratories worldwide that meet the highest standards of care and quality control. The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP accreditation program as being equal-to or more-stringent-than the government's own inspection program.
