Dia 1 - VHL

2nd International workshop on Cancer Genetic & Cytogenetic Diagnostics
March 26 to March 28, 2014
Radboud university medical center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
The workshop will focus on all aspects concerning cancer genetics and cancer cytogenetics in a
diagnostic setting. Technical aspects such as conventional karyotyping, methods and principles of
fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and new methods in cytogenetics such as micro-array
genomic profiling, MLPA and next generation sequencing will be discussed. During the workshop
interpretation of cytogenetic and genetic data in relation with cancer (onco-hematology and solid
tumors) and predisposition to cancer will be presented. Practical exercises will be offered with the
ISCN 2013 system for chromosome aberrations and with cytogenetic and genomic databases.
Furthermore students will practice with data obtained by karyotyping, FISH and micro-array and
translation of these data in a report. Participants will have the opportunity to present their own
observations and cytogenetic findings which are difficult to interpret.
