Abstract
This issue focuses on the rapidly developing field of human cytogenetics. The first article discusses the methodology used in the study of human chromosomes as well as its application in the diagnosis of chromosomal disorders. The second article discusses the application of chromosome analysis to the diagnosis and prognosis of hematologic malignancies, and the final article illustrates clues found on a peripheral blood smear that lead to the diagnosis of a chromosomal disorder.
