Molecular Genetics / Cytogenetics Department

The Molecular Genetics/Cytogenetics Department at Chughtai Lab is dedicated to prenatal screening and molecular diagnosis of genetic disorders across all age groups. Our facility serves not only individuals with known genetic conditions but also those seeking proactive health screening. Additionally, we offer opportunities for training and research.

Our department specializes in utilizing cutting-edge molecular technologies for a wide range of applications, including:

Screening for Chromosomal Aberrations
Identification of pathogenic mutations in single-gene disorders
Identification of disease-related mutations in targeted gene panels, and across the entire exome or genome

Technologies Used

We employ a variety of advanced technologies, including:

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Sangers DNA Sequencing
Real Time PCR (RT-PCR)
End Point Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Karyotyping and Cytogenetic Analysis
Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization (FISH)
Reverse Sequence Specific Oligonucleotide Polymerase Chain Reaction (RSSO PCR)

Current Parameters
