Cytogenetics is a branch of biology focused on the study of chromosomes and their inheritance, especially as applied to medical genetics. Chromosomes are microscopic structures containing DNA that reside within the nucleus of a cell.
What is cytogenetic testing used for?
Cytogenetic testing is the examination of chromosomes to determine chromosome abnormalities such as aneuploidy and structural abnormalities. A normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, including 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY).
What tests are currently being done in cytogenetic testing?
There are three major methods of cytogenetic testing: Routine karyotyping. Fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) Comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) and array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH).
What is the difference between genetic and cytogenetic testing?
In summary, cytogenetic tests analyze the structure and number of chromosomes, while molecular genetic tests focus on studying specific genes and DNA sequences.
In which condition cytogenetic tests are advised?
Cytogenetic testing is recommended for individuals with certain conditions, such as congenital disabilities, developmental delays, intellectual disability, autism, or certain types of cancer.
