The UCLA Cytogenetics Laboratory is headed by ABMGG-certified Cytogeneticists and staffed by California-licensed Clinical Cytogenetics Scientists (CCS) and Hospital Laboratory Technicians (HLT). Our lab performs more than 8,000 cytogenetic assays annually for our in-patient population, community-based physicians and independently run pathology laboratories. This 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 cancer to prenatal and postnatal diagnosis.
