Genetics Services at Kamineni Hospitals, LB Nagar
Genetic Testing
Chromosomal analysis, karyotyping, FISH, microarray and molecular gene testing are used to confirm a genetic diagnosis or assess carrier status. Whole exome sequencing is available for complex undiagnosed cases where standard panel tests are inconclusive.
Carrier Screening
Couples planning pregnancy or currently pregnant are screened for carrier status for common inherited conditions including thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, SMA and cystic fibrosis. Results guide reproductive decision-making and prenatal testing options.
Prenatal Genetic Testing
Genetic evaluation during pregnancy includes NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing), amniocentesis for chromosomal analysis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) for early prenatal diagnosis where indicated. All prenatal genetic testing is coordinated with the obstetrics team at Kamineni Hospitals, LB Nagar.
Genetic Counselling
The genetics team provides pre-test and post-test counselling to help patients and families understand their genetic diagnosis, inheritance pattern, recurrence risk and available options. Genetic counselling is available before pregnancy planning, during pregnancy and after a diagnosis in a family member.
Newborn and Paediatric Genetics
Children with birth defects, developmental delay or suspected metabolic conditions are evaluated by the genetics team at LB Nagar. Evaluation includes clinical examination, targeted gene testing or broader exome-level investigation depending on the clinical picture.
Diagnostic Tests Available
- Karyotyping: chromosomal number and structure analysis
- FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation): rapid targeted chromosomal deletion or duplication detection
- Chromosomal Microarray: genome-wide copy number variation analysis
- Whole Exome Sequencing (WES): coding gene mutation analysis for undiagnosed conditions
- Gene Panel Testing: targeted testing for specific inherited conditions
