This may be a really stupid question - but is there a difference between CCS and CGH testing?

I know the ladies using CCRM use CCS. My clinic does CGH which is a 24 hour turn around. Wondering if anybody has any information on the two.

Thanks!

CGH is a technology that can be used to perform CCS.

CCS is just a catch all term for testing all the chromosomes. There are several methods: CGH (which can be aCGH or mCGH, and I think), SNP, and PCR are the most common, I think.

CCRM has changed the method they use to do the testing over time. They used to use CGH, and I think are now using PCR.
