Genetic Testing Laboratories

Genetic Testing Laboratories (GTL) is an international corporation with a head office and laboratory in Las Cruces, USA and offices in Brighton, UK and Sydney, Australia. Over the years the company has sought to offer its support to various charities not only by offering financial support but offering assistance in various other ways including subsidised, free or discounted DNA testing via its Helping Hand Fund. Asked about the sponsorship of The Martlets Hospice, the Sales and Operations manager for Genetic Testing Laboratories, also known by its acronym GTL, states that "our company has worked with other social organisations, charities and immigration services and we have chosen to partner with The Martlets in Sussex as part of our drive to support local charities in each of our locations worldwide." The Martlets is based in Hove, East Sussex and cares for over 1000 terminally ill patients every year. Genetic Testing Laboratories have reached out to The Martlets Hospice and the company's donation will pay for patients' meals over the Christmas period and help give them "a pleasant Christmas, alleviating their difficult plight during the coming festive season".
