What is detected?
Cytogenetics detects structural and numerical chromosomal abnormalities.

Cytogenetics does not identify all possible inherited disorders and birth defects.  There are many genetic disorderes that are caused by small changes in chromosomes which cannot be detected by this test.FISH testing provides a quick result, usually within two working days for the most cases.

When will I get my results?
Cytogenetic testing requires cells to grow. It may take between 15 to 20 working days to obtain a cytogenetic test result.
