Developmental Disorders
LCG provides solutions in Genomics, Conventional and/or Molecular Cytogenetics and Molecular Biology for genetic studies of Developmental Disorders.
Genetical family story
These studies are carried out taking into account the alterations present in the index case, using the most appropriate techniques in the set of existing LCG techniques to characterize the alterations.
Methylation-specific MLPA (MS-MLPA)
MS-MLPA can be used for the analysis of both methylation as well as copy number changes of syndromic related regions.
Prenatal Diagnosis
The LCG performs a wide variety of exams in Prenatal. The fetal genome can be analyzed more widely, by molecular karyotype (aCGH) and constitutional karyotyope, More specific techniques like FISH, MLPA and MS-MLPA can also be performed whenever necessary.
Training in Cytogenetics and Genomics
Annual 5-day course divided into theoretical, theoretical-practical sessions and 6 practical workshops, with the aim of addressing the evolution from cytogenetics to genomics, both in pre- and postnatal diagnosis and in research and forensic medicine
