Thank you++
agree John Holland : This seems correct, especially since it seems to involve a "formulaire ECA" that accompanies the specimens. (I don't think all the letters need to be capitalized, though...)

ACE = angiotensin converting enzyme

I think Liz might be right with "European Cytogenetics Association". Seems to fit better.
