Lab Services provided by Compass Dermatopathology
Molecular Testing
Our dermatopathology lab is committed to delivering cutting-edge molecular testing services that you can rely on.
DNA Sequencing
Our comprehensive DNA sequencing, which identifies genetic mutations and variations in skin cells, provides a thorough and detailed diagnosis of genetic skin disorders and malignancies, giving you a complete picture of the patient’s condition.
RNA Expression Analysis
Our meticulous and precise examination of RNA expression patterns, a testament to our commitment to accuracy, allows us to understand gene expression profiles in skin tissues. This enables a confident and accurate diagnosis and prognosis for skin diseases.
Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH)
FISH is a powerful molecular cytogenetic technique for visualizing and identifying specific DNA sequences within skin cells. This method is crucial in detecting and pinpointing chromosomal abnormalities associated with various skin cancers.
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
We use this technique to create millions of copies of a specific segment of DNA. In skin biopsy specimens, PCR amplifies the genetic material of infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi for subsequent analysis.
Next-generation Sequencing (NGS)
NGS is a high-throughput, advanced sequencing technology that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes associated with hereditary skin conditions and skin cancer subtypes, making your diagnostic process more efficient.
Mutational Analysis
This process involves identifying particular genetic mutations found in skin tumors and neoplasms. The aim is to use this information to tailor targeted therapy and personalized treatment approaches for patients.
Gene Expression Profiling
This process involves analyzing gene expression patterns to accurately classify skin tumors and predict their biological behavior and potential response to various treatment options. This method enables a deeper understanding of the molecular characteristics of skin tumors, aiding in developing personalized and targeted therapeutic approaches.
