Cytogenetics and FISH department is a division of Molecular and Clinical Genomics of Triesta Sciences. Specializing in conventional karyotyping and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), the department is dedicated to providing accurate and insightful genetic analyses for various hematological malignancies as well as solid tumors. In the realm of hematological malignancies, conventional karyotyping serves as a cornerstone for identifying the wide spectrum of chromosomal abnormalities. This technique involves analyzing a cell’s complete set of chromosomes, enabling us to detect numerical and structural alterations of diagnostic and prognostic significance.
The department of Cytogenetics and FISH is ably led by a competent team of Scientists and Technologists and offers conventional karyotyping for ruling out constitutional abnormalities in other genetic diseases and for couples who have recurrent pregnancy loss or repeated miscarriages while undergoing IVF.
Division excels in performing FISH tests, a powerful molecular cytogenetic method which allows for the visualization of specific genes or chromosomal regions, providing detailed information about genetic abnormalities at the microscopic level. The insights gained from our cytogenetic analyses contribute significantly to patient care, aiding clinicians in making informed decisions regarding treatment strategies and prognosis.
