Project
leader: Dr
John Crolla
The primary
aim of the NGRL’s Key Locus Service (KLS) is to utilise
the molecular cytogenetics resources of the Wessex Regional Genetics
Laboratory by obtaining probes from:
All these activities
are funded by the NGRL (Wessex). We are also able to provide
a diagnostic service utilising the NGRL FISH probes, and such
tests will be charged on a pro-rata basis. FISH tests
will normally be performed on peripheral blood cell suspensions
which have already been processed for cytogenetic analysis and
are in 3:1 methanol:acetic acid fixative. Conventional cytogenetic
analysis will be reported from the primary referring laboratory.
