Abstract

Chromosomal diseases are serious diseases that are usually accompanied by a disability of patients. Medical and genetic counseling involves a complex of preventive measures to prophylaxis the birth of such patients in families. Cytogenetic diagnosis is one of the diagnostic type of these diseases – this is a complex of traditional karyotyping techniques and different FISH technics. The indications for this test are multiple congenital malformations/microanomalies ,various neuro-psychiatric disorders, sexual development disorders, a variety of disembriogenetic stigma, prenatal and postnatal growth and development retardation, autism, delayed speech development, learning difficulties.
