Molecular Genetic Department performs analyses with the aim of determining mutations and/or detecting genotypes which causes to inherited disorders. These analyses are composed of scanning the mutations which lead to disorders, carrier analysis for genetic disorders and susceptibility to multifactorial diseases. Single gene disorders (Thalassemia, FMF), multifactorial diseases (Cancer), mitochondrial disorders (LHON) are performed in this department.

Some techniques, used in our laboratory for routine genetic analysis, are listed below:
1. RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms)
2. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
3. Sequencing
4. RT-PCR (Real Time PCR)
5. Heteroduplex Analysis
