Cytogenetic Test (CG)

Cytogenetic testing is offered through conventional and molecular cytogenetic testing with reliable accuracy, quality, and turnaround time for constitutional disorders and cancers, including leukemias and solid tumors.

Available cytogenetic tests include:

Routine chromosome analysis (karyotype) for congenital and neoplastic disorders on blood and bone marrow specimens
FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) for hematologic disorders, bone marrow transplant and tumor associated gene rearrangements in FEPE (Formaldehyde Fixed Paraffin Embedded) tissue.
2.7 M SNPs chromosomal microarray on blood
