    • Priority: Medium

      Existing Wording: The?Cytogenomic Reporting?section deals with all types of cytogenetic observations including single-code cytogenetic notations (i.e. ISCN codes), FISH test results and microarray results.

      Comment:

      ISCN is not limited strictly to legacy cytogenetics. It can report deletions and duplications which are part of "standard" genomics. Granted that FISH is used in Ctyogenetics. It is not exclusively cytogeneticss . Except for banding of various kinds which would ideally be left out, this seperation adds complexity and think we could do without. ISCN typically reports all of the abnormalities in one expresion. Not usually broken out by discrete variant.
