The Warren G. Sanger Human Genetics Laboratory, directed by Dr. Zhenya Tang, MD, PhD, FACMGG, provides more than 130 diagnostic tests for all areas of genetics health: Prenatal and Pregnancy Loss, Postnatal (pediatric and adult), and Hematology/Oncology/Lymphoma/Solid Tumor. The genetics lab is staffed by medical technologists who are certified by the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP) with specialites in conventional and molecular genetics along with the director who is board certified by the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ABMGG). In July of 2020, the Human Genetics Laboratory became a Nebraska Medicine Lab, click here for new certificates and accreditation information.

Performed on blood, bone marrow, lymph node, or solid tumor tissue, genetic testing can detect chromosome aberrations associated with hematology and oncology conditions. Often times, individual chromosomes are further analyzed after a cancer diagnosis to provide prognostic information to assist in disease management. The following tests are available:
