Beyond CNV: leveraging SNP microarrays in cancer

Dr. Stephen Moore, MBA, MS, PhD, FACMG

Associate Professor of Molecular and Medical Genetics at Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon, USA & Director of the Clinical Cytogenetics and Clinical Molecular Diagnostics labs of the OHSU Knight Diagnostics Labs, Portland, Oregon, USA

OGT's chromosomal microarrays are a backbone of genomics laboratories and are regularly used in oncology research. Often the focus is the robust detection of oligonucleotide components, i.e., copy number changes, including exon-level.

In this presentation, Dr. Stephen Moore will share his experience utilizing OGT's CytoSure^® chromosomal microarrays in various tumour types. Specifically, he will highlight the different applications of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) track beyond oligonucleotides confirmation.
