Molecular cytogenetics integrates the fields of molecular biology and cytogenetics, employing chromosome structural analysis to help distinguish between cancer-causing and normal cells. The study of molecular cytogenetics can help diagnose and treat a variety of cancers, including brain tumors, hematological malignancies, and other cancer precursors. The general goal of the field is to examine how chromosomes have evolved, focusing on the quantity, composition, purpose, and genesis of chromosome abnormalities.

It consists of a set of methods known as fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, wherein fluorescent tags of various colors are attached to DNA probes to enable the visualization of one or more particular genomic areas. As an alternative, virtual karyotyping can indirectly evaluate the complete genome for copy number changes.

Arrays, including thousands to millions of probes, are utilized to produce virtual karyotypes and computational methods are employed to recreate the genome in silico. The primary reasons driving the growth of the molecular cytogenetics market are the increasing number of oncology patients, technological advancements in chromosome analysis tools, and the trend toward personalized treatment. Moreover, the demand for molecular cytogenetics is growing faster due to the rise in cytogenetic analysis workshops and conferences. For the duration of the study, the market expansion is anticipated to be constrained by the high expense of care and the general lack of knowledge about the newest cytogenetics diagnostic technologies.

Technology Insights

• FISH: Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) uses localized labeling of particular nucleic acids to map out repetitive or single-copy DNA sequences. The method uses various fluorescently tagged DNA probes that attach to one or more particular genomic regions. Every chromosome is labelled at each stage of cell division to show any structural or numerical abnormalities that may occur during the cycle. A locus-specific, centromeric, telomeric, or whole-chromosomal probe is used. Usually, paraffin block tissues and interphase cells are used for this procedure. Fluorescent tags produce signals that may be viewed under a microscope. Mutations can be identified by comparing these signals to those of healthy cells.
• Comparative Genomic Hybridization: Comparing copy number differences between a biological sample and a reference uses comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) derived from FISH. The original purpose of CGH was to detect chromosomal abnormalities in cancer cells. This technique uses two genomes—a sample and a control—that have been fluorescently labeled to enable their separation. When an official diagnosis is unknown or a patient has underlying genetic abnormalities, CGH can quickly scan the complete genome for various chromosome imbalances. Histological cancers frequently cause this.
• Immunohistochemistry: While not strictly cytogenetic, immunohistochemistry (IHC) uses antibodies to detect particular proteins in tissue samples, which can help diagnose genetic diseases and some malignancies.
• Karyotyping: Karyotyping is a conventional method that looks for chromosomal number or structure anomalies by examining the entire set of chromosomes under a microscope.
• Others: The fastest CAGR is expected in the other technologies section during the projection period. In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the use of single-cell sequencing technology. Using these technologies makes it possible to analyze individual cells and identify genetic variability in tissues and tumor samples.

Application Insights

• Genetic Disorders: Many genetic illnesses, including Patau syndrome, Turner syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Down syndrome, and others, can benefit from molecular cytogenetics. Molecular cytogenetics can also be used when diagnosing congenital disorders for which the underlying genetic reasons are unknown. Chromosome structural analysis of a patient can identify the underlying abnormalities.
• Oncology: The increasing number of cancer cases worldwide has led to the oncology segment dominating the molecular cytogenetics market and capturing the most significant revenue share. Thanks to molecular cytogenetics, the ability to characterize tumors genetically sheds light on the chromosomal aberrations and genomic changes linked to cancer. The application of molecular cytogenetics has also been accelerated by the rise of personalized medicine in oncology.
