Starting June 17, 2013: Our SNP microarray is now performed using the CytoSNP-850K BeadChip. This chip has enriched coverage for 3,262 genes of known cytogenetic relevance.
Starting March 18, 2013: Our SNP microarray is now performed using the OmniExpressExome microarray chip. The chip contains a backbone of more than 700,000 genome-wide markers with an additional 240,000 markers located within exons of functionally relevant disease genes. This chip provides more markers over relevant genes / regions while still providing excellent coverage of common SNP variation areas.
Starting Dec. 3, 2012: We can now perform chromosome breakage analysis for Fanconi anemia on skin or cultured fibroblasts.
Starting Oct. 15, 2012: The Cytogenetics Laboratory has adopted the ACMG standards and guidelines. We have also changed to human genome reference assembly build GFCh 37.
