NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Phosphorus, a leading preventative genomics company, announced today that it had entered into a partnership with Mikrogen, a genetic diagnosis laboratory focused on reproductive genetics, to offer GeneCompass, the Phosphorus holistic, medical-grade genetic test, to Mikrogen customers throughout the Middle East and Europe.

For over 20 years, Mikrogen Genetic Diseases Diagnosis Center has delivered reproductive medicine and embryo genetics services. Their focus is to provide quality, standardized and reliable results by leveraging the latest in science and innovative technologies.
