ABOUT US

The Institute of Human Genetics (IHG) began in 1990 as the Medical Genetics Unit of the University of the Philippines-College of Medicine which in 1999 became one of the service and research oriented institutes of the National Institutes of Health-University of the Philippines Manila (NIH-UP). Since then, IHG expanded its services to become the largest provider of genetic services in the country - providing diagnostic, research and clinical management services in support of RA 10747 or the Rare Disease Act of the Philippines and the RA 9288 or the Newborn Screening Act of 2004.
