Department of Clinical and Laboratory Genetics and Department of Genetics Clinical University of Medicine has been leading for several dozen years counseling and diagnostics in the field of genetics – both before birth and after birth. We conduct research in the field of modern aspects of clinical and molecular genetics. Together with the development of modern clinical genetics, expanding ours experience, we have implemented highly specialized scientific procedures and diagnostic, thanks to which the range performed by our facility research is steadily growing.
We perform research in the field of classical cytogenetics (cultures cell counts, karyotypes, FISH technique), molecular cytogenetics (aCGH, MLPA, SNParray microarrays) as well as molecular genetics (PCR techniques, gene expression, Sanger sequencing, NGS-panels genowe, exome sequencing, whole genome sequencing).
We also offer individual genetic design models of disease assessment in patients – according to your suggestion.
