    Corporate Advocacy Program
Genetest Lab is not a genetic testing laboratory.  Its locations under various names in Buffalo, NY, USA; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and England are maildrops for the collection of specimens provided by unwitting consumers paying upwards of $1000 for genetic 'tests' that are either not performed (although random results are issued) or performed with no regulatory oversight.  The site in Buffalo is a UPS Store, formerly Mailboxes Etc.

Genetest and its internet sister 'labs' are run by Omar and Baseer Haqqani from a suburb of Toronto.  When confronted, the Haqqanis purport to send specimens to various a/k/a's of Healthgene Corporation, a veterinary testing lab operated by Yuri Melekhovets, Ph.D., at a Keele Street address in Toronto. But, the various pseudonyms (run "Yuri Melekhovets DNA" as search terms) of Healthgene Corporation will not produce analytical data and document control records to support such testing to consumers who request the records.  Again, there is no regulatory oversight of the 'testing' on human specimens 'performed' by these entities.  Beware.

Healthgene Corporation

Hi Bill,

Just to make you aware Genetest Corporation has closed down.  Healthgene Corporation did in fact carry out the DNA tests for Genetest Corporation.

Healthgene Corporation had my results on file.

Make people aware that Healthgene Corporation carry out DNA testing under the names of Confidentialpaternity.com, Forensicgenticcenter.com, dna-human.com and prenatalgenticcenter.com.

I contacted you a little while ago concerned that a CVS DNA test they had done for me was wrong.  Since then i have had my son and am too worried to be restested.

My son's eyes are going brown i thought this was impossible has me and my partner both have blue eyes!

They have ruined my life! Each day i obsess over what if the results they have given me are wrong!
