Initial approaches to prenatal diagnosis from fetal karyotyping involved application of standard cytogenetic techniques. However, when fetal samples, such as chorionic villus cells or amniocytes are used, small chromosome rearrangements cannot be easily identified because they lack a distinct bandin

โฆ Synopsis
In situ hybridization of hamsterlhuman hybrids with biotinylated human genomic D N A has revealed that human chromosomal DNA can integrate into the hamster genome and is not always cytologically detectable. This finding helps t o explain why discordancy can arise in gene mapping by failing to recognize small pieces of foreign DNA in the rodent genome. Fluorescent in situ hybridization allows one t o locate these fragments in rodent chromosomes visually and possibly to identify their chromosome of origin.
