These services are mainly provided by Diagnostic Genomic Medicine Unit, DGMU. The COMS/DGMU Cytogenetic Laboratory provides routine and high-resolution karyotyping, Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), and Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). Diagnostic services for prenatal and postnatal congenital disorders and neoplastic/oncologic disorders are routinely performed. The prenatal indications: abnormal fetal ultrasound, advanced maternal age, parental balanced chromosome rearrangement, and positive maternal serum screening – indicates an increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormality. While, postnatal clinical indications include: dysmorphic features, congenital anomalies, developmental delay, mental retardation, infertility and multiple spontaneous abortions.

- DGMU is College of American Pathologist (CAP)accredited unit authenticating that the laboratory meets the highest possible quality control standards.
- We offer a competitive price list for wide range of Cytogenetic and genetic tests including prenatal, postnatal and oncology genetic analysis.
- It has a team of highly competent and qualified consultants, medical scientists and technologists certified by the Saudi commission for Health Specialties.
- We provide the clinically relevant interpretations of the laboratory results and recommendations for management of patient care.
- DGMU has a Customer Service Team to provide information about testing requirements and look after the needs of our patients at every stage of the analysis.
