Join an interactive learning experience that connects theory with practice in genetics and genomics. The Laboratory Genetics and Genomics (LGG) Alternative Certification Pathway offers a workshop focused on enhancing your knowledge and skills in molecular and cytogenetics.
Guided by experienced mentors from the LGG Alternative Certification Pathway faculty, this workshop provides an opportunity to explore complex clinical cases.Together with fellow participants, you will delve into molecular and cytogenetics testing by applying advanced methodologies to practical scenarios.
Throughout the session, faculty members will lead discussions on a variety of clinical cases, examining genotype-phenotype associations, the challenges of different testing methodologies, and approaches to combining cytogenetic and molecular results. Topics will include defining testing guidelines for specific disorders and understanding the details of cytogenetic and molecular nomenclature, offering a comprehensive look at genetic evaluation and problem-solving.
By the end of this workshop, participants will have the knowledge and skills to:
Spanning a comprehensive agenda with meticulously curated topics, the workshop offers a dual track approach:

By the end of this workshop, participants will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Select the appropriate molecular and cytogenetics methodologies for the evaluation of genetic disorders.
- Engage in informed discussions on genotype-phenotype associations.
- Navigate the limitations of various molecular and cytogenetic methodologies.
- Articulate approaches to the integration of cytogenetic and molecular results.
- Establish testing guidelines for specific disorders.
- Master cytogenetic and molecular nomenclature.
- Implement strategies for the evaluation and troubleshooting of complex cases.
Spanning a comprehensive agenda with meticulously curated topics, the workshop offers a dual track approach:
- Cytogenetics Track (10:00 - 1:00): Delve into pre-analytic cytogenetics, prenatal cytogenetics, cytogenetics of miscarriage/infertility, congenital microarray, and cytogenetics of hematologic malignancies.
- Molecular Track (2:00 - 5:00): Explore genomic applications, inherited cancers, neurogenetics, repeat expansion disorders, and common Mendelian disorders.
