Abstract
Cytogenetics is a key tool in the detection of acquired chromosomal abnormalities and in the diagnosis of genetic diseases such as leukemia. The karyotyping is a set of procedures, in the scope of the cytogenetics, that produces a visual representation of the 46 chromosomes (called karyogram), paired and arranged in decreasing order of size.
