At MedGenome, we offer a range of advanced cytogenetic tests to meet the needs of patients and healthcare providers. Our state-of-the-art facilities and expert team ensure accurate and reliable results. The cytogenetic testing we offer includes:
Karyotyping and High-Resolution Banding:
This is a basic cytogenetic test that examines the number and structure of chromosomes. It helps identify numerical and structural abnormalities. Karyotyping is commonly used in diagnosing conditions like Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and certain cancers like leukemia. Amniotic fluid karyotyping is also a part of cytogenetic testing.
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH):
FISH is a more targeted test that uses fluorescent probes to detect specific genetic changes. It is highly effective in identifying subtle chromosomal abnormalities and is widely used in cancer diagnosis and prenatal testing.
POC Testing by Cytogenetics:
POC analyses tissue from miscarriages to determine if chromosomal abnormalities caused the pregnancy loss. This helps in understanding the cause and planning future pregnancies.
Male Fertility Tests:
Male Fertility Tests analyse chromosomes in sperm or detect deletions on the Y chromosome, helping to find genetic reasons for male infertility and guide treatment options.
Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA):
CMA is a high-resolution cytogenetic analysis test that can detect even the smallest chromosomal changes, which is particularly useful for diagnosing developmental delays, mental retardation, autism spectrum disorders, and congenital abnormalities.
