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.

Molecular Cytogenetics - Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)

 Molecular cytogenetics (FISH) allows a more detailed study of specific chromosomal regions, increasing the resolving power of conventional cytogenetics. The LCG provides an extensive library of FISH probes.

Molecular Rapid Aneuploidy

 The rapid screening of the most common aneuploidies allows, in a short period of time (24h-72h), to evaluate the ploidy (number) of chromosomes 13, 18 and 21 and of the sex chromosomes X and Y.
