Competency information
Details
Perform a basic chromosome analysis on a minimum of three ‘simple’ cases that demonstrate different chromosomal syndromes or anomalies
Considerations
- Basic chromosome identification
- Karyotype construction
- G-banding
- Numerical and structural anomalies and normal variation
- Relationship of basic chromosomal anomalies to clinical features in patients
- Correct ISCN nomenclature
- Cytogenetic abnormalities commonly associated with haematological disease
