Everyone has 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 pairs
of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.
The science that relates to the study of these
chromosomes is referred to as Cytogenetics. And
the tests done analyse the whole chromosome and
identify any disorders present
There are many disorders that can be diagnosed
by examining a person's whole chromosome.
Chromosome abnormalities constitute a major category
of medical genetic disorders. In a clinical setting,
chromosome abnormalities account for a large proportion
of cases involving individuals referred with congenital
malformations, developmental delay, mental retardation,
or infertility; women with gonadal dysgenesis;
spontaneous abortions, and couples with repeated
spontaneous miscarriages.
Cytogenetic laboratories provide microscopic studies
of human chromosomes in order to diagnose abnormalities
in prenatal/postnatal and cancer specimens. The
studies involve analyzing chromosomes found in
blood, bone marrow, amniotic fluid, chorionic
villi and tissues using microscopes with computer
controlled displays.
The information gained through Cytogenetic testing
arms your physician with information needed to
prescribe the right course of treatment. We recommend
showing the results obtained from doing a cytogenetic
screen to your personal physician or genetic
councilor.
