Test Details
FISH, or fluorescence in situ hybridization, is a molecular cytogenetic technique that can be used for prenatal or postnatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities. It involves the use of fluorescently labeled DNA probes that specifically bind to specific regions of the chromosomes, allowing for the detection of specific chromosomal abnormalities.
For the diagnosis of chromosome 18 abnormalities, such as trisomy 18 (Edward’s syndrome), a specific DNA probe targeting the 18th chromosome can be used. This probe will bind to the specific region of the chromosome 18, and if there is an extra copy of chromosome 18 present (trisomy), it will be detected by the fluorescence signal.
Similarly, for the diagnosis of sex chromosome abnormalities, such as Turner syndrome (XO), Klinefelter syndrome (XXY), or other abnormalities involving the X and Y chromosomes, specific DNA probes targeting these chromosomes can be used. These probes will bind to the X or Y chromosome regions, and any abnormalities, such as missing or extra copies of these chromosomes, can be detected by the fluorescence signal.
Overall, FISH is a valuable technique for the prenatal or postnatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities, including those involving chromosome 18 and the X and Y chromosomes. It provides a rapid and accurate method for detecting specific chromosomal abnormalities, aiding in the diagnosis and management of individuals with these conditions.
