Application of DA/DAPI technique in cancer cytogenetics.

The recent advent of banding techniques has facilitated the identification of human chromosomal abnormalities in neoplasias. Utilization of a single technique for the identification of marker chromosomes has caused ambiguity because staining profiles overlap with many other chromosomal regions in the human genome. Thus, the implication of DA/DAPI technique in clinical cytogenetics has been documented by presenting a variety of cases with neoplastic syndromes.
