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.

High resolution banding karyotype

 The study of the constitutional karyotype makes it possible to observe the entire genome, being able to identify both balanced and unbalanced structural chromosomal alterations, as well as alterations in the number of chromosomes and mosaics.

Infertility

 Infertility test by Cytogentics and Molecular Biology techniques.

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.
