-- Chromosomes isolated from peripheral blood lymphocyte culture, and were used to identify normal and abnormal metaphase chromosomes.-- Useful in identifying disorders such as partial Turner’s syndrome, inversion of chromosome 1, Klinefelter’s syndrome, chronic myeloid leukemia, and lung cancer. -- Chromosomes isolated from peripheral blood lymphocyte culture, and were used to identify normal and abnormal metaphase chromosomes.-- Useful in identifying disorders such as partial Turner’s syndrome, inversion of chromosome 1, Klinefelter’s syndrome, chronic myeloid leukemia, and lung cancer.
