The study of normal and abnormal chromosomes.
The process of analyzing the number and shape of the chromosomes of cells. The individual, who prepares, examines and interprets the number and shape of chromosomes in cells is called a cytogeneticist. In addition to identifying chromosome alterations, the specific genes affected can be identified in some cases. These findings are very helpful in diagnosing specific types of leukemia and lymphoma, in determining treatment approaches, and in following the response to treatment.
A method by which chromosomes can be analysed under the microscope.
The study of chromosomes and chromosomal abnormalities.
The branch of genetics devoted to study of the cellular constituents concerned in heredity, that is, the chromosomes.
The study of the appearance, structure, and behavior of chromosomes.
The branch of biology dealing with the study of heredity from the point of view of cytology & genetics.
The study of the structure of chromosomes. Cytogenetic tests are carried out on leukemia patients to detect any chromosomal abnormalities associated with the disease. This helps in diagnosis and selection of optimal treatment.
the branch of biology that studies the cellular aspects of heredity (especially the chromosomes)
The study of chromosomes, usually to detect abnormalities associated with a medical condition.
identification of abnormal chromosomes in a cellular tissue sample.
A test done either on bone marrow cells or on blood cells. The test analyzes the chromosomes within the cells.
A laboratory evaluation of the chromosomes of cells from the blood, bone marrow, or lymph nodes.
si-to-jen-ET-ix Correlation of an inherited trait to a chromosomal anomaly. 286
The branch of genetics concerned with the physical structure and appearance of chromosomes.
The study of chromosomes , the visible carriers of DNA , the hereditary material. See the entire definition of Cytogenetics
The cytological approach to genetics, mainly entailing microscopic studies of chromosomes.
The study of the chromosomes. DI – See Donor Insemination
The analysis of the number and shape of chromosomes in cells. Often used to further classify malignancies. Especially leukemias and lymphomas.
the study of chromosomal material
The study of chromosomes. The Genetics Center has a fully licensed cytogenetics laboratory directed by Dr. Carolyn Trunca.
The study of the structure, function, and abnormalities of human chromosomes
chromosomal analysis of fetoplacental or fetal tissue
Study of chromosomes and their behavior in the cell.
An evaluation of the genetic material of leukemia patients. Two types of cytogenetics, "conventional" and FISH, are used to diagnose and follow the course of CML. Conventional cytogenetics (so-called because it's been around a long time) is a microscopic exam of up to 25 marrow cells in a phase of cell division when your chromosomes can be clearly seen and differentiated.
field of taxonomy which uses chromosomal study to distinguish individuals at specific or infra-specific level.
The branch of genetics devoted to the study of the cellular constituents which are concerned with heredity (chromosomes and genes). Also, the scientific study of the relationship between chromosomal aberrations and pathological conditions.
Area of biology concerned with chromosomes and their implications for inherited characteristics.
The branch of genetics concerned mainly with the study of chromosomes and their relationship to physical features.
The study of the physical appearance of chromosomes.
The study of changes in chromosomes. A positive response, in itself, does not indicate that a material is a carcinogen.
Cytogenetics is the study of the structure of chromosome material. It includes routine analysis of G-Banded chromosomes, other cytogenetic banding techniques, as well as molecular cytogenetics such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).
