In my first book (Your Easy Way To Chromosomes), I talked mainly about the human chromosomes, their structures, abnormality, their syndromes, and chromosomes analysis. In this book I focused on how chromosomal abnormalities happened and showing some of abnormal karyotypes images for each chromosome .

More DescriptionIn my first book (Your Easy Way To Chromosomes), I talked mainly about the human chromosomes, their structures, abnormality, their syndromes, and chromosomes analysis. In this book I focused on how chromosomal abnormalities happened and showing some of abnormal karyotypes images for each chromosome . A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes from an individual's cells (blood, hair, or any other tissue), photographing them through a microscope and arranging them in pairs, ordered by size and position of centromere.Karyotype test (alternative names Chromosomes Analysis) plays a role in diagnosis genetic diseases which related to chromosomal abnormalities, some birth defects, and even cancers such as certain hematologic and lymphoid disorders. On the other hand some genetic abnormalities cannot be detected by karyotype analysis such as microdeletions. Karyotype helps clinical cytogeneticist to identify abnormalities by:* Count the number of chromosomes and looking for extra such as trisomy 21 or missing chromosomes in a karyotype such as Turner syndrome.* Look for structural changes in chromosomes such as chromosomal deletions, duplications, translocations, or inversions.Writing a book related to your field shows your passion and commitment to your jobSana Nimersananimer1@gmail.com sananimer1@hotmail.com
