Laboratory Sections
Cytogenetics
The Cytogenetics Laboratory specializes in identifying chromosomal abnormalities that contribute to genetic disorders, congenital anomalies, prenatal screening findings, and inherited disease syndromes. Through microscopic analysis and fluorescence-based techniques, the laboratory detects changes in chromosome number, structure, and integrity that may impact development, fertility, or long-term health outcomes. Cytogenetic testing serves as a critical tool in pediatrics, oncology, reproductive medicine, and genetic counseling, providing physicians with diagnostic confirmation, prognostic

Diagnostic & Testing Services
- Karyotype
Visual analysis of chromosomes to identify numerical or structural abnormalities associated with genetic and congenital disorders. - Fragile-X Analysis
Detects Fragile X syndrome, a common inherited cause of intellectual disability and developmental delay.
- FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization)
Identifies specific chromosomal abnormalities using targeted fluorescent probes for precise genetic analysis. - Breakage Studies
Evaluates chromosomal instability to support diagnosis of inherited DNA repair and chromosomal breakage disorders.
