Molecular Haematology
Short Description : Molecular Haematology information page
Also known as : [Diagnostic Genetics - Molecular Haematology],[Mol Haem],[Molecular Haematology - Molecular Studies],[MolHaem Lab]


Molecular Haematology provides specialised regional, and in some cases national, services related to the diagnosis, classification and management of a spectrum of malignant haematological disorders and inherited gene defects.

MOLECULAR STUDIES:

The DNA diagnostic laboratory focuses on the molecular analysis of a variety of haematological disorders:

  1. Molecular and genetic studies of haematological malignancies, including detection of minimal residual disease
  2. Prenatal and carrier services for the inherited coagulation and haemoglobin disorders
  3. Molecular analysis of prothrombotic risk factors
  4. Molecular analysis of haemochromatosis
