NEONATAL Genetics!! FISH?! Karyotype? Microarray? Whole Exome Sequencing??

WHEN do we send each genetic test? What do they test for? How long do thye take to come back? What is Whole Exome sequencing (WES) and when do we use it? What about a microarray? What can we 'FISH' for? Watch this video to learn all this- in a quick and easy way!! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you want extra Tala Talks education?
