Cytogenetics Department

A Cytogenetics Department specializes in studying chromosome structure and function to diagnose genetic disorders, cancer diagnostics (leukemia), and congenital abnormalities. These labs utilize techniques like karyotyping, FISH (Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization).

Our department specializes in utilizing cutting-edge Cytogenetics technologies for a wide range of applications, including:

A. Chromosomal autosomal abnormalities

• Sex chromosome abnormalities
•  Primary amenorrhea
•  Absent secondary sexual characteristics
•  Short stature
•  Infertility
•  Problem in sexual intercourse
•  Ambiguous genetalia
• Couple with recurrent abortions
• Couple with congenitally abnormal kid’s.
• Cytogenetics study for Down’s syndrome
• Cytogenetics study for Down’s syndrome Variations (Translocation, mosaic)
• Cytogenetics study for Turner’s syndrome
• Cytogenetics study for Turner’s syndrome Variations (mosaic, iso chromosome)
• Cytogenetics study for Patau’s syndrome
• Cytogenetics study for Edward’s syndrome
• Cytogenetics study for Kline filter’s syndrome
• Cytogenetic study for Kline filter’s syndrome Variation(mosaic)
• Screening for Fanconi’s anemia or Chromosomal Breakage study
• Acute myeloid leukemia cytogenetics study(M0-M7)
• Acute lymphoblastic leukemia cytogenetics study (ALL1-ALL3)
• Myelodysplastic syndrome cytogenetics (MDS)All types
• Chronic myeloid leukemia cytogenetics study (CML)
• Erythroid hyperplasia cytogenetics study
• Invasive ductal carcinoma (Her2 by FISH)
• Invasive breast carcinoma (Her2 by FISH)
• Glioma 1p/19q co-deletion (Brain tissue by FISH)
