Test Details
Fish (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) is a molecular cytogenetic technique used for the diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities. It involves the use of fluorescently labeled DNA probes that specifically bind to target sequences on chromosomes, allowing for the visualization of specific chromosomal regions.
In the case of chromosome 13 and 22, FISH can be used for both prenatal and postnatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities involving these chromosomes. For prenatal diagnosis, FISH can be performed on fetal cells obtained through amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). The technique can be used to detect abnormalities such as trisomy 13 (presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13) or translocations involving chromosomes 13 and 22.
For postnatal diagnosis, FISH can be performed on cells obtained from blood or other tissues. It can be used to confirm the presence of chromosomal abnormalities identified through other diagnostic methods or to detect specific abnormalities involving chromosomes 13 and 22, such as the presence of a specific translocation.
It’s important to note that FISH is just one of the available diagnostic methods for chromosomal abnormalities, and its use may vary depending on the specific clinical scenario and the availability of other testing options. Genetic counseling is recommended to determine the most appropriate diagnostic approach for each individual case.
