Department of Pathology

The Clinical and Molecular Cytogenetics Laboratory is a component of South Texas Reference Laboratories of the Department of Pathology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. The laboratory provides support services for faculty and staff of the Health Science Center as well as services to outside hospitals, clinics and physicians. We are a full-service laboratory performing routine and molecular chromosome analysis.
About the Lab:
A board certified clinical cytogenticist is available to provide assistance with ordering appropriate tests, interpretation for all cases and discussion of abnormal results with the referring physician. Final reports are sent to all referring physicians, counselors, hospitals and laboratories. Preliminary reports are faxed on request and photographs of all karyotypes are available upon request. Color photographs of FISH results accompany all written FISH reports.
