Cytogenetics
C ytogenetics is a specialized field of genetics that focuses on the study of chromosomes and their role in heredity, development, and disease. Chromosomes are the thread-like structures in the nucleus of cells that carry the genetic information in the form of DNA. By analyzing the structure and behavior of chromosomes, cytogenetics provides valuable insights into genetic abnormalities, hereditary disorders, and the underlying mechanisms of various diseases.

This com- prehensive article explores the significance of cytogenetics in laboratories, its methodol- ogies, applications, and its impact on clinical diagnostics and research. Laboratories Cytogenetics plays a crucial role in laborato- ries by providing critical genetic information for the diagnosis, prognosis, and manage- ment of various genetic and chromosomal disorders. Through the study of chromo- somes and their alterations, cytogeneticists can identify numerical and structural abnor- malities, providing valuable information for patients and their families.
