About the Genetic Laboratory
Precision in Every Genome, Guided by International Standards
The Genetic Laboratory at Lee Women’s Hospital provides comprehensive genetic testing service for reproductive medicine and prenatal diagnosis. Equipped with advanced karyotyping analysis platforms and molecular cytogenetic technologies, the lab ensures accurate, reliable, and timely test results to help families secure their future.
The Genetic Laboratory is led by Prof. Li, Yueh-Chun, who has over twenty years of experience in cytogenetics. She has extensive clinical testing experience and a strong research background in reproductive genetics, with a long-term focus on developing innovative diagnostic and technological solutions to improve patient care.
Our genetic laboratory team is highly trained in cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics. With deep academic knowledge and extensive clinical experience, our team performs karyotyping and genetic analyses across various tissue types under highly rigorous standards, providing robust support for clinical medicine.
Advanced Technology, Decoding a Healthier Future
The Genetic Laboratory at Lee Women’s Hospital serves as a strong support system for the hospital's infertility and pediatric genetics departments. Genetic information is passed down through generations via chromosomes, affecting an individual's physical health, developmental traits, and reproductive ability. Abnormalities in chromosome number or structure can affect not only fertility but also the health of future generations. Therefore, karyotyping has become a crucial and indispensable part of infertility evaluation and pediatric genetic diagnosis.
Our laboratory specializes in karyotyping services, with samples sourced from:
- Infertility couples
- Egg and sperm donors
- Pediatric blood samples
- Prenatal amniotic fluid and chorionic villi
- Miscarriage tissue
By providing precise chromosomal analysis results, the Genetic Laboratory supports reproductive medicine specialists in diagnosis and genetic counseling, serving as a key platform for reproductive medicine and women’s and children’s healthcare.
