**About the department**
The Diagnostic Genetics laboratory provides a comprehensive service using both cytogenetic and molecular genetics techniques enabling us to resolve clinical diagnoses with a genetic component. We analyse pre and post-natal samples, providing predictive testing, and confirmation of a clinical diagnosis in the management of a spectrum of both malignant and inherited disorders.
The Molecular Haematology team provide testing for a range of DNA and RNA based assays related to malignant disorders such as leukaemia and inherited disorders such as thalassaemia. Our portfolio of tests is constantly being upgraded with a view to reducing turnaround times and enhancing our tests to take into account new approaches and international clinical and research data. The molecular haematology team liaises closely with laboratory and clinical haematologists with the opportunity for scientists to be involved in multidisciplinary and other educational meetings.
