Cytogenetic Analysis

Cytogenetics is a specialized branch of diagnostics that examines chromosomes in tissue, blood, or bone marrow samples to identify structural or numerical abnormalities.

These abnormalities, such as broken, missing, rearranged, or extra chromosomes, can signify genetic diseases, conditions, or cancer. By understanding chromosomal changes, cytogenetic analysis plays a crucial role in diagnosing diseases, planning effective treatments, and monitoring therapeutic outcomes.

At Healia Diagnostics, we leverage advanced cytogenetic technologies to provide precise and reliable results. Our laboratory is equipped to perform a range of tests, ensuring a comprehensive approach to chromosome analysis.

Services Offered

The Cytogenetics Laboratory at Healia Diagnostics offers state-of-the-art testing services, including:

Chromosome Analysis

  • Evaluates the number and structure of chromosomes in cells.

  • Identifies chromosomal abnormalities associated with genetic disorders and cancers.

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)

  • Uses fluorescent probes to detect and localize specific DNA sequences on chromosomes.

  • Ideal for identifying genetic changes in cancer cells and congenital conditions.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Microarray Testing
