Services

  • Detection of cytogenetic abnormalities in leukemias, lymphomas and solid tumors by classic and molecular cytogenetics methods on fresh and archival tissue.
  • Diagnosis of microdeletion syndromes and numerical aberrations in prenatal and postnatal cases.
  • Identification of small genetic aberrations in individuals with congenital diseases using high resolution genomic microarray technologies.

Prenatal

  • Rapid fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for Aneuploidy Screening
    • Interphase analysis for trisomies of 13, 18 and 21, and aneuploidies of chromosomes X and Y provides rapid detection of the most common chromosomal aneuploidies
  • Routine G-band Chromosome Analysis
    • Performed to obtain an overview of the fetal karyotype and chromosome structure in amniocytes, chorionic villi sampling and products of conception

Postnatal

  • SNP -Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA) offers full genome coverage with nearly 2 million oligonucleotide markers
  • Routine G-band Chromosome Analysis for couples with infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss

Oncology
