Abstract
Patients with genetic disorders require specific types of cytogenetic testing for accurate diagnosis and prognosis followed by prompt treatment. This primer will serve as a guide for pediatric nurse practitioners on the use of various cytogenetic testing for the diagnosis of genetic disorders. Knowledge of the latest cytogenetic technologies will facilitate diagnosis and counseling related to genetic abnormalities such as inherited disorders, mental retardation, developmental delay, and autism. This reference will enable pediatric nurse practitioners to help identify patients with various inherited genetic disorders and provide subsequent monitoring and treatment.
