General Information
The Stanford Cytogenetics Laboratory is a full-service cytogenetics laboratory. Standard chromosomal (or cytogenetic) analyses are performed on all tissue types, including:
- Amniotic fluid, chorionic villi sampling (CVS) and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling (PUBS) for prenatal diagnosis;
- Bone marrow aspirates on patients with leukemia, lymphoma and other hematological disorders;
- Peripheral blood samples in couples with multiple miscarriages;
- Peripheral blood samples of children with multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation;
- Tumor samples of solid neoplasms and tissue (products of conception, fetal skin samples, etc.);
- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for:
- Microdeletion syndromes
- Identification of marker chromosomes
- Leukemia/lymphoma-specific rearrangements
- HER2 amplification in breast cancer
- Screening for recurrent bladder cancer (UroVysion)
- Subtelomeric repeat studies for cryptic translocations
