Cytogenetics is the branch of genetics that studies the structure of DNA within the cell nucleus. This DNA is condensed during cell division and form chromosomes. The cytogenetic studies the number and morphology of chromosomes. Using chromosome banding techniques (classical cytogenetics) or hybridization fluorescently labeled probes (molecular cytogenetics).
Cytogenetic tests are used to detect neonatal and paediatric disorders related to mental retardation, congenital diseases of the heart and other organs, deafness, blindness and gene deletions and duplications. Chromosomal anomalies in prenatal diagnostics also forms a key activity in this department.
