Smart Cytogenetics 3: Karyotyping and FISH for Three Markers

Smart Cytogenetics 3 combines two powerful diagnostic techniques, Karyotyping and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) for three markers. It is a critical test for analyzing chromosomes in a sample of cells, commonly blood. The test is instrumental in identifying genetic disorders and particular types of cancers. Karyotyping involves staining chromosomes and viewing them under a microscope to evaluate their number and structure.


  • Test NameSmart Cytogenetics 3: Karyotyping and FISH for Three Markers
  • Sample TypeBlood/ bone marrow
  • Preparations RequiredNo special preparation is necessary for this test.
  • Report Time12 Days for Karyotype & 5 Days for FISH

FISH employs fluorescent probes that bind to specific DNA sequences on chromosomes, which allows for the identification of genetic abnormalities with high accuracy. Smart Cytogenetics 3 includes an additional marker compared to Smart Cytogenetics 2, enabling even more comprehensive analysis. This test is particularly valuable for complex genetic diseases and cancers involving multiple genetic alterations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Cytogenetics 3 is important because it can detect chromosomal abnormalities and genetic mutations. By using three markers, it allows for a more detailed analysis and can help in diagnosing genetic disorders and certain cancers.

No, fasting is not required for the Smart Cytogenetics 3 test.

No specific preparation is needed for the test. However, informing the doctor about any medications or supplements being taken is advisable.

This test is often recommended in cases of suspected genetic disorders, or to analyze the genetic aspects of cancers. It is also useful in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and detecting recurrence in cancer patients.

Smart Cytogenetics 3 provides information about the structure and number of chromosomes in cells. By analyzing three specific markers, it can identify genetic abnormalities and mutations with high precision.

The frequency of the test depends on the clinical condition and the doctor's recommendations. It may be conducted periodically in cases of chronic conditions or cancers.

Normal values typically indicate a standard number and structure of chromosomes. However, the specifics may vary, and it is recommended to discuss the results with your doctor for a clear understanding.

There are no special precautions required for this test. However, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions and communicate any medications being taken.

Modifiable Factors: Certain medications and chemotherapy can affect the levels.

In case of abnormal values, it is recommended to consult a geneticist or oncologist.

The risks associated with the Smart Cytogenetics 3 test are minimal and are generally related to the blood draw, such as minor pain or bruising at the needle site.

Yes, by examining three markers, the Smart Cytogenetics 3 test can detect multiple genetic abnormalities.

The blood sample is collected from a vein in the arm using a needle. This is a standard procedure performed by a medical professional.

Yes, this test can be performed on patients of all ages, including children, especially if there is a suspicion of a genetic disorder.

While Smart Cytogenetics 3 is generally performed using a blood sample, it can also be performed on other sample types, including amniotic fluid or tissue from the placenta for prenatal screening.

Smart Cytogenetics 3, combining Karyotyping and FISH for three markers, is an advanced diagnostic tool for the comprehensive analysis of chromosomes. This test is essential in diagnosing and managing complex genetic disorders and certain cancers. Understanding the underlying genetic alterations can be crucial for developing targeted treatment strategies. This test is an invaluable resource for doctors and patients in understanding and managing a wide array of health conditions rooted in our genetic makeup. Always ensure to consult with your doctor for a thorough understanding of this test and how it can be instrumental in the management of various health conditions.
