Connect Sign InThis lecture is designed to provide a broad background in the study of human genome structure and function and how this knowledge is applied to clinical testing. This lecture will cover basic molecular biology concepts that provides the foundations of major molecular techniques commonly performed in clinical laboratories, including karyotype testing, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), chromosomal microarray, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays. Specimen requirements, advantages, and limitations of each technique will also be discussed.
