1
Q

For large abnormalities what studies are used?

A

Karotyping

FISH

2
Q

What is Karotyping and what does it show?

A

Culturing cells and then arresting cell division
Gives overview of chromosomal structure
Won’t detect small or subtle lesions

3
Q

What is FISH used to detect?

A

Translocations

4
Q

What is immunohistochemistry?

A

Cells produce certain proteins e..g. actin
We place a pigment on an antibody to the target protein
Any pigment staining left means the protein is present
