The Cytogenetics Laboratory offers comprehensive cytogenetic and cytogenomic diagnostic testing across the lifespan, with evaluation of both constitutional and neoplastic disorders by karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and/or chromosomal microarray (CMA) analysis. For constitutional testing, CMA is available to evaluate prenatal (amniotic fluid, chorionic villus sampling), postnatal (blood, buccal swab) and products of conception specimens.
The laboratory’s excellence and experience in cancer analysis has resulted in our recognition for over 40 years as an institutional laboratory for cooperative study groups including the Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group (ECOG) and the Children’s Oncology Group (COG). The Cytogenetics Laboratory is also a regional provider for the state of Indiana, servicing all of the IU Health system in addition to facilities in South Bend, Bloomington, Fort Wayne, Columbus and Evansville.
