by Molecular cytogenetics involves the combination of molecular biology and cytogenetics to study human chromosomes. It allows detection of genetic abnormalities at a level not possible using standard cytogenetic techniques. Molecular cytogenetics techniques include fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). FISH makes use of fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with a high sequence complementarity. Meanwhile, CGH compares genomic differences between two sets of DNA by hybridizing different fluorescent tags. These techniques enable detection of small genetic changes that can help diagnose various genetic disorders.
The global molecular cytogenetics market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4,211.4 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 24.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
The molecular cytogenetics market is expected to be flourished by increasing incidences of genetic disorders worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), genetic disorders affect 1 in 20 people worldwide with over 7,000 known conditions.
