Molecular Pathology Tests

Most of us in the Gulf send our samples to be tested in the West. I would like to change this.
I have set up a state of the art Laboratory for molecular oncology in the University of Kuwait, Faculty of Medicine and we perform routinely the following tests.
For Breast Cancer: Her2/Neu amplification by FISH (FDA Approved), BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation analysis
FOR Colorectal Cancer: Hereditary Poliposis coli screen (MLH1,MSH2,MSH6, Immunohistochemistry, allelotyping and sequencing)Prediction of metastasis tests using genome-wide scans and RKIP
For Bladder Cancer: Multi-signal FISH a non-invasive highly sensitive test for the early detection of Bladder Cancer. The test is designed to detect aneuploidy for chromosomes 3, 7, 17, and loss of the 9p21
Fluorescent in Situ hybridisation and Real-Time PCR for Lymphomas and leukemias (you request the translocation and will do it)
Comparative Genomic Hybridisation and microarray CGH to detect chromosomal copy number changes in cancersAs the tests are very expensive in the West we have cut our costs significantly and will be willing to offer the tests at cost price.If you wish to use our services please contact me through the contact in the Web-site: http://www.al-mulla.org
This is my laboratory at The Faculty of Medicine
Thanks GulfOncology for this nice Forum.
