cytogenetic
Studying cellular heredity
Cytogenetic relates to the study of chromosomes—their structure, number, and behavior in cells.
The field examines how chromosomal abnormalities cause genetic disorders and disease.
Cytogenetic testing revealed an extra chromosome.
The cytogenetic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of Down syndrome.
