    Specialized hematological tests

    Our geneticists, together with hematologists, have developed a huge list of molecular genetic tests that help in the diagnosis and treatment of the full range of hematological diseases. We implement and effectively use in practice algorithms based on methods that improve patient care, increase the effectiveness of treatment and significantly reduce the time and costs of diagnostics. Cooperation between our laboratory and clinical practice allows us to give patients answers to questions long before the first symptoms of diseases appear, and in some cases, prevent them.

    Our specialization:

    Oncological diseases in children have fundamental differences from cancer in adults. In pediatric oncology, tumors of the hematopoietic organs are in first place. Leukemia and its similar type leucosis are the most widespread. And the main difference is that in children, treatment is highly effective, especially if detected in the early stages. Our lab has developed a panel that is based not only on pediatric practice, but also on the results of collaboration with clinical researchers and clinical groups.

    Tests:

    • COGMF | Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Pediatric Oncology Group testing, FISH, varies
    • COGBF | B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, Pediatric Oncology Group testing, FISH, varies

    For many years, our laboratory has been helping to assess the state of the patient’s blood clotting system and determine the presence of its disorders associated with genetic pathologies. Blood clotting disorder is the process of disruption of the body’s ability to control the process of blood clot formation, resulting in a tendency to either bleeding (insufficient clotting) or thrombosis (excessive clotting).

    Monitoring anticoagulants

    Currently, the number of direct oral anticoagulants and direct thrombin inhibitors on the pharmacological market is growing.
