From the 2023 Joint Annual Meeting (recorded 6/28/2023)
Presented by Wahab
Khan, PhD, FACMG, and Lauren Wainman,
PhD
Clinical case studies based around cytogenetic
and molecular testing, ranging from combined use of karyotyping, FISH,
chromosomal microarrays, and next generation sequencing, will be presented. The
components of a genomic report will also be discussed.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this presentation,
participants will be able to:
- Identify advantages and limitations of cytogenomic and molecular testing technologies.
- Recognize situations in which reflexive or follow-up testing may be needed to better understand a cytogenetic or genomic finding.
- Summarize content and interpretive categories of clinical genomic testing report, including somatic and germline testing.
