In the future, FISH will be able to decrease the chances of a miscarriage by using samples of maternal blood instead of amniotic fluid. The problem wit ...

It uses specially prepared molecules which bind to specific regions of DNA. To find a particular gene, the examiner just looks for the flourescent coloured molecule that bonds to that specific gene. In amniocentesis, test cells are cultured for three weeks and then tested. The chromosomes are then counted manually, and compared to a chart of norm ...
