The Clinical and Molecular Cytogenetics Laboratory<\/strong> is a component of South Texas Reference Laboratories of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the UT Health San Antonio. The laboratory provides state of the art diagnostic and research services for the UT Health San Antonio as well as to other hospitals, clinics and physicians in San Antonio and surrounding cities. We are a full-service laboratory performing routine chromosome analysis (RCA), Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) testing, and high-resolution microarray testing for constitutional and acquired conditions using cutting-edge technology. For more information,\u00a0please contact client services at 210-567-6599.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mission Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our goal is to provide accurate and timely chromosome analysis for patients using state of the art techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n
