Cytogenetics

Our cytogenetics laboratory performs the determination of chromosomal diseases using culture of blood samples, skin tissues, amniotic fluid and pregnancy abortion materials for diagnostic purpose at prenatal and postnatal stages. And following operations are done at cytogenetics lab.

Postnatal

  • Peripheral blood culture and chromosome analysis
  • Cell culture from skin and skin like tissues and chromosome analysis
  • Chromosome analysis from bone marrow

Prenatal

  • Fetal blood culture and chromosome analysis
  • Cell culture from amniotic fluid and chromosome analysis
  • CVS (chorionic villus) tissue culture and chromosome analysis
  • Tissue Culture from pregnancy abortion material and chromosome analysis

"The essence of evolutionary biology is that, just as our genetic material guides us, we also have the potential to guide it."

Richard Dawkins
