Molecular Cytogenetics encompasses all aspects of chromosome biology and the application of molecular cytogenetic techniques in all areas of biology and medicine, including structural and functional organization of the chromosome and nucleus, genome variation, expression and evolution, chromosome abnormalities and genomic variations in medical genetics and tumor genetics. The application of new multicolour karyotyping techniques has allowed the complete dissection of complex chromosome rearrangements and provides the prospect of identifying new recurrent chromosome rearrangements. Recent developments in comparative genomic hybridization to DNA microarrays provide the promise of high resolution and automated screening for chromosomal imbalances. Rather than replacing conventional cytogenetics, however, these techniques have extended the range of cytogenetic analyses when applied in a complementary fashion.

Molecular Cytogenetics Market Outlook

Rising healthcare expenditure, technological advancements and growing prevalence of cancer and genetic disorders are some major factors driving the growth of the molecular cytogenetics systems market. Additionally, rising focus toward the targeted therapy for cancer treatment has also impacted the growth of the molecular cytogenetics systems market globally. On the other hand, factors such as high cost of molecular cytogenetics instruments are hampering the growth of the market.
