Beyond CNV: leveraging SNP microarrays in cancer

Speaker and presentation summary

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 utilising 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.
