Can Genetic Disorders Be Diagnosed Through Histology?
Yes, histology can be an essential tool in diagnosing genetic disorders. For example, in Tay-Sachs disease, histological examination of neurons can reveal the accumulation of gangliosides, which appear as ballooned cells under a microscope. Similarly, in Marfan Syndrome, abnormalities in connective tissues such as fibrillin can be identified through histological staining techniques.
