|
General
|
| |
Clinical Use:
|
This test detects chromosomal gains and losses of variable size across the whole genome in a single assay. It is used as an ancillary test to aid in the distinction between benign and malignant melanocytic proliferations in the setting of ambiguous histological features.
The array CGH assay can also be useful for other cancer types, please contact the Molecular Anatomical Pathology laboratory for further information. |
