Cytogenetics, the study of chromosomes and their role in inheritance, development and disease, stands as a cornerstone of modern genetics. From its humble beginnings with the discovery of chromosomes by Wilhelm Waldeyer in 1888 to today's sophisticated techniques in molecular cytogenetics, the field has evolved dramatically. Cytogenetic testing involves the analysis of chromosomes to identify any abnormalities, including aneuploidy and structural anomalies.
