For his part, the Director of Pathology & Clinical Laboratory Medicine at King Fahd Medical City, Dr. Mosa Fagih said: "We have worked on the project since the beginning of 2016, trying to reduce the cost of the analysis, which used to be sent to one of the European countries, and to localize it in the laboratory of the Medical City. We have contracted with specialized laboratories to conduct the analysis using the lab equipments without reading the results, that the DNA of the patient is to be separated from the rest of the blood components, and the sequential genome is to be analyzed, while the results are to be read within the Medical city. The first report on this analysis was issued last week » .
