Lorgen GP Granada

What Lorgen GP Granada does

Lorgen GP Granada (legal entity: LORGEN GENETICA PROTEOMICA S.L) is a Spanish biotechnology laboratory specializing in genetic and proteomic diagnostics, headquartered at the Granada Science Park (PTS). Founded in 2003 as a spin-off from the University of Granada under Dr. José Antonio Lorente Acosta, the company operates a 19-person team with more than 20 years of experience in genetic diagnosis. Its service menu spans non-invasive prenatal testing under the Previgen brand (Previgen 6, Previgen 24, Previgen Basic, and DeteSex fetal sex determination), hereditary cancer panels (a 113-gene total panel and BRCA1/2 panels), thrombophilia screening, exome and trio-exome analysis, a 780-gene somatic oncology panel, high-resolution Array 750K CGH, paternity testing via the Identikit kit, nutrigenetic tests (Gen & Food, NUTRIOME, supplements, microbiota), food intolerance genetics (lactose, fructose, celiac, histamine), and breath diagnostics (SIBO, Helicobacter pylori), with results typically delivered in 5-15 business days. Underlying technology relies on next-generation sequencing, copy number variation analysis, array CGH, and standardized forensic protocols (ISFG compliance).

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at lorgen.com serving individual patients across Spain, paired with a B2B professional portal through which doctors, gynecologists, oncologists, and nutritionists order diagnostic tests. Distribution is reinforced by a national network of collaborating centers acting as sample extraction points and by the company's own laboratory for in-person collection. Revenue is predominantly transactional (one-time fees per test ranging from €20 to €689), with a small recurring element from an e-learning platform that provides genetics training to professionals. The company is privately held, has no disclosed external investors, and is registered in Madrid, operating entirely within Spain.
