Histological detection of genetic defects involves several techniques, including:
Microscopy: Light and electron microscopes are used to examine tissue samples for structural abnormalities. Staining Techniques: Specific stains can highlight abnormal cells or tissues, making it easier to identify genetic defects. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins that may be abnormal or absent in genetic disorders. In Situ Hybridization: This method detects specific DNA or RNA sequences within tissues, helping to identify genetic mutations.
