Cytogenetics Services

We offer advanced cytogenetic testing to analyze chromosomes and detect genetic abnormalities that may lead to inherited disorders, cancers, and other conditions. The testing that we perform under cytogenetics are: Karyotyping and FISH.

Karotyping

Karyotyping is a test that examines chromosomes (the structures that carry genetic information) to detect abnormalities. At NPL, we do this testing for:

Diagnosis of genetic disorders like Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome.

Checking any chromosome abnormalities in infertility and recurrent miscarriages cases.

Identifying any genetic changes in blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma.

Assess genetic health in prenatal (before birth) and postnatal (after birth) cases.

A small sample of blood, bone marrow, or amniotic fluid is taken and analyzed under a microscope to check for missing, extra, or rearranged chromosomes.

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) Test:

FISH is an advanced genetic test that helps detect specific changes in chromosomes and genes. It is widely used to diagnose certain cancers and genetic disorders by identifying abnormalities such as gene amplifications, deletions, and rearrangements.At NPL, we offer FISH testing for conditions like:

Breast & Gastric Cancer (HER2/neu): Helps determine targeted treatment.

Leukemia (BCR-ABL, t(15;17): Confirms diagnosis and guides therapy.

Lung Cancer (ROS-1): Identifies patients for precision medicine.

This test provides fast and accurate results, helping doctors make better treatment decisions.
