FISH offers several advantages over traditional histological and genetic techniques:
High Sensitivity: FISH can detect even small genetic changes, making it a sensitive tool for identifying genetic abnormalities. Specificity: The use of specific DNA probes ensures that FISH can accurately target and identify particular DNA sequences. Visualization: FISH allows for the direct visualization of genetic material within the context of tissue architecture, providing spatial information that other techniques cannot. Rapid Results: Compared to some other genetic testing methods, FISH can provide results relatively quickly, which is particularly important in clinical settings.
