Cytogenetics

Increased public awareness of the relationship between genetics and personal health has increased the demand for cytogenetic tests. The benefit of this is clear in many contexts, such as family cancer risk assessment, prenatal and preimplantation diagnosis, and diagnosis of chromosome abnormalities in health and disease.

Cancer genetics deals with the diagnosis and prognosis of cancers at the cellular level by helping doctors make crucial treatment decisions.

Cytogenetic tests are used to detect neonatal and pediatric disorders related to mental retardation, congenital diseases of the heart and other organs, deafness, blindness, and gene deletions and duplications. Chromosomal abnormalities in prenatal diagnostics are also a key activity in this department.

Our geneticist experts also offer genetic counseling services.
