The International Workshop on Cancer Genetic & Cytogenetic Diagnostics, is a course focusing on all aspects concerning cancer (cyto)genetics in a diagnostic setting. Basic technical aspects covering conventional karyotyping, methods and principles in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), micro-array genomic profiling, QPCR, gene sequencing and new technologies such as Optical Genome Mapping and Whole Genome sequencing will be presented. In addition to the various laboratory techniques there will be presentations regarding quality assessment, ISCN and HGVS nomenclature and genetic abnormalities in various types of leukaemia’s.
Since most presentations start with basic knowledge and end with up-to-date information regarding cancer genetics, this workshop will be of interest for all who are working in the field of cancer (cyto)genetic diagnostics.
