The UCLA Cytogenetics laboratory is headed by four ABMG-certified Cytogeneticists and staffed by over 28 California-licensed Clinical Cytogenetics Scientists (CLS). Our lab performs cytogenetic analysis for both our in-patient population, community based physicians and independently run pathology laboratories, which includes a high volume of hematological cases. State-of the art technologies are employed, including molecular cytogenetic techniques, such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for a wide range of clinical settings from prenatal and postnatal diagnosis to cancer.
Services
- Detection of cytogenetic molecular abnormalities in leukemias, lymphomas and solid tumors by standard and molecular cytogenetics and molecular pathology.
- Prenatal/postnatal diagnosis of microdeletion syndromes and numerical aberrations.
- Chromosomal microarray analysis for detection of copy number variants.
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
- Routine G-band chromosome analysis
- Comprehensive FISH panels
