Flourescence In-situ Hybridisation And Its Advantages
Beginning of paper
Flourescence in-situ hybridisation is a great advancement in technology
because there are fewer chances of a miscarriage, the parents receive faster
results, and the tests are easier to do. In the future, FISH will be able to
decrease the chances of a miscarriage by using samples of maternal bloo ....

.... that bonds to that specific gene. In amniocentesis, test cells are cultured
for three weeks and then tested. The chromosomes are then counted manually, and
compared to a chart of normal chromosomes. This can be difficult, as the tester
is looking for an extra chromosome 21. So because the test is much simpler,
quicker, and reduces the risks of miscarriages, flourescence in-situ
hybridisation is an incredible discovery in the field of genetics.
