What MNG Laboratories does

MNG Laboratories is a specialized clinical diagnostic laboratory focused exclusively on genetic and biochemical testing for rare neurological disorders. The company operates as a wholly-owned operating division of Laboratory Corporation of America (Labcorp, NYSE: LH), functioning as Labcorp's neurogenetics specialty arm. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Atlanta, MNG employs between 11 and 50 people and serves healthcare providers — primarily neurologists, geneticists, and genetic counselors — who order tests on behalf of patients navigating the "diagnostic odyssey" for rare neurological conditions.

The company's core technology platform is built around next-generation sequencing, offering three complementary modalities: MNGenome® whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing, and RNA sequencing. These are supplemented by phenotypically driven NGS panels that incorporate mtDNA testing, repeat expansion detection, and copy number analysis when clinically relevant. MNG differentiates its interpretation through a proprietary molecular systems approach that evaluates variants in the context of disease pathways rather than as isolated gene findings, combining molecular sequencing with biochemical testing for a comprehensive diagnostic workflow. Additional offerings include Familial Testing for hereditary risk assessment and a Data Reanalysis program that re-interprets existing patient data against updated gene-disease associations.

Commercially, MNG operates as a clinical diagnostic laboratory with a sales-led, healthcare-provider-driven go-to-market. Tests are ordered through providers and genetic counselors via the company's test ordering system, with revenue generated through insurance reimbursement, institutional billing, and direct patient billing under standard clinical laboratory fee schedules. The company leverages Labcorp's national logistics, payor contracts, and provider relationships for distribution, which materially extends its reach beyond what an independent esoteric lab of its size could achieve.

Core offering

MNG Laboratories is a clinical diagnostic laboratory that delivers specialized neurogenetic testing services for rare neurological disorders. Its core offerings include whole genome sequencing (branded MNGenome®), whole exome sequencing, RNA sequencing, phenotypically driven next-generation sequencing panels with mtDNA, repeat expansion, and copy number analysis, biochemical testing, familial testing, and data reanalysis programs ordered by healthcare providers.

Product overview

MNG Laboratories offers a unified diagnostic platform specializing in analytics and diagnostic services for rare neurological disorders. The portfolio centers on three core sequencing products: MNGenome® (Whole Genome Sequencing), Whole Exome Sequencing, and RNA Sequencing, which are complemented by phenotypically driven next-generation sequencing panels. Additional services include Familial Testing and Data Reanalysis programs. MNG's proprietary approach evaluates genetic changes through the lens of molecular systems biology rather than isolated gene analysis, combining biochemical and molecular testing capabilities to help end the diagnostic odyssey for patients with rare neurological conditions.
