What is the Importance of Genetic Material in Disease Diagnosis?
Alterations in genetic material, such as mutations, deletions, or amplifications, can lead to various diseases, including cancer. Histological examination can reveal abnormalities in the structure, number, or organization of chromosomes. Techniques like fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) are used to detect these genetic alterations in tissue samples.
