Cytogenetics
In classical cytogenetic diagnostics, we investigate chromosomes under the light microscope to detect anomalies affecting their number (aneuploidies) or their structure (e.g. inversions, translocations, duplications or deletions). This conventional method of chromosome analysis continues to be an important diagnostic procedure for example in patients with a history of multiple miscarriages, infertility, psychomotoric developmental delay and others and is applied for prenatal or postnatal testing.
We also offer additional molecular cytogenetic analysis (FISH) for example in patients with suspected mosaicism (also using buccal swabs) and in patients with suspected DiGeorge syndrome or Williams-Beuren syndrome. If you are interested in these additional diagnostic tests, please contact us at +49-551-39-67596.
