Molecular Cytogenetics

In our center, we can detect genetic diseases that are impossible to be detected by chromosome analysis or examine the genetic abnormalities which are not fully and precisely defined via chromosome analysis. To be able to offer a faster evaluation of test results, following operations are carried out in this lab.

  • Rapid analysis of aneuploidy in amniotic fluid and CVS tissue (13, 18, 21, X ve Y)
  • Microdeletion analysis in amniotic fluid and CVS tissue by FISH
  • FISH analysis in amniotic fluid and CVS tissue with specific probes
  • FISH analysis in blood, bone marrow and similar tissues with specific probes
  • FISH analysis in tumor tissues with specific probes
  • FISH analysis in hematologic patients with specific probes
  • Sperm FISH analysis (13, 18, 21, X ve Y)
  • Sperm DNA fragmentation (Tunel) analysis

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