| MC |
visible chromosomal aberrations |
Simple, whole chromosomal view |
Low resolution, Can’t detect UPD |
800 rmb |
| FISH |
small and hidden chromosomal aberrations |
Not rely on proliferating cells, High sensitivity |
only detect particular chromosomal aberrations |
2000 rmb |
| SKY |
Unknown and complex chromosomal aberrations |
display better pictures of karyotypes |
