A branch of genetics which studies the function of cells, especially chromosomes, in heredity.<\/p>\n

\n

Study of cell formation, structure, and function (cytology) as it relates to heredity (genetics). Modern techniques have proven that genetic information is carried on chromosomes, which contain genes (codes for individual characteristics). On a molecular basis, genes are made up of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Cytogenetic techniques employed on amniotic fluid are frequently used to diagnose fetal abnormalities within the first few weeks of gestation.<\/p>\n

\n

A science that links the study of inheritance (genetics) with that of cells (cytology); it is concerned mainly with the study of the chromosomes, especially their origin, structure, and functions.<\/p>\n

\n

The study of the structure and functions of the cells of the body, with particular reference to the chromosomes.<\/p>\n

\n

The study of the structure and function of chromosomes. Clinically, the science of cytogenetics has been applied to the diagnosis and management of congenital disorders. The diagnosis of some fetal abnormalities can be made by chromosomal analysis of chorionic villus samples as early as 8 to 14 week’s gestation.<\/p>\n

\n

A group of proteins, encompassing interleukins among others, which are secreted by cells to govern the duration and magnitude of an immune reaction and facilitate communication between cells.<\/p>\n
