Cytogenetic tests
Thsi article is a list of common cytogenetic tests. An introduction to cytogenetics is in the cytogenetics article.
Karyotyping
Findings:
- 5q deletion seen in myelodysplastic syndromes.[1]
- Y deletion in MDS[2] - relatively common in old men.
ISH
Cytogenetic tests at one hospital:[3]
