FISH

---

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)

FISH is a genetic technique used to diagnose congenital diseases such as Down’s Syndrome and Edward’s Syndrome, as well as to detect cancer and diagnose infectious diseases. It can also be applied to detect genetic abnormalities such as characteristic gene fusions, aneuploidy, loss of a chromosomal region or a whole chromosome, and to monitor the progression of an aberration, aiding in both diagnosis and prognostic outcomes.

These technologies are integral to modern genomics and have a wide range of applications in clinical diagnostics and research. They enable precise identification and characterization of genetic variations, contributing to our understanding of genetic diseases and informing treatment strategies.
