Cytogenetic Analysis

Cytogenetic analysis is a laboratory technique that examines your chromosomes—the structures in your cells that carry genetic information. It involves taking a sample of cells, usually from blood or tissue, then looking at their chromosomes under a microscope to identify any changes in number, shape, or structure. This helps detect genetic disorders, such as missing or extra chromosomes or structural abnormalities that can cause health issues or developmental problems. Cytogenetic analysis provides valuable insights into the genetic basis of certain conditions and guides diagnosis, treatment, and genetic counseling.
