Prenatal Diagnosis, Sampling of Chorionic Villi
Prenatal diagnosis with application of the Amniotic fluid (Amniocentesis: AC) and chorionic villi sampling {CVS) is a general aspect of application in Human Genetics which facilitate the diagnosis of different Genetic defects, enclosing chromosomal abnormalities and Genosomopathies. Diagnosis of Genetic defects for AC and CVS is between 16-20th and 8-12th weeks of gestation respectively. Allica...
متن کاملYet another Feature Selection Study for Microarrays
Two histopathologically different kinds of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) -alveolar and embryonal RMSare associated with distinct clinical characteristics and different cytogenetic properties. Affymetrix microarrays (U133A/B) were used to characterize the 74 tumoral tissues of both kinds. For consistency with previous work, 8801 genes have been considered in our analysis. Also, the train/test division ...
متن کاملComparison of classical cytogenetics versus interphase FISH in diagnosis of mosaic form of Turner syndrome
Abstract Background: Mosaic form of turner syndrome that represented by two or more cell lines in an affected individual, often has limitation for detection with classical cytogenetic methods. The present study was carried out to compare the efficiency of interphase Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH) and cytogenetic techniques in detection of mosaic form of turner syndrome. Method...
متن کاملChromosomal Microarrays in Prenatal Diagnosis: Time for a Change of Policy?
Microarrays have replaced conventional karyotyping as a first-tier test for unbalanced chromosome anomalies in postnatal cytogenetics mainly due to their unprecedented resolution facilitating the detection of submicroscopic copy number changes at a rate of 10-20% depending on indication for testing. A number of studies have addressed the performance of microarrays for chromosome analyses in hig...
متن کاملFrom Genetics to Genomics of Epilepsy
The introduction of DNA microarrays and DNA sequencing technologies in medical genetics and diagnostics has been a challenge that has significantly transformed medical practice and patient management. Because of the great advancements in molecular genetics and the development of simple laboratory technology to identify the mutations in the causative genes, also the diagnostic approach to epilep...
