    Area of Science:

    • Human cytogenetics and laboratory methods for chromosome analysis.

    Background:

    • Basic technical facts of human cytogenetics are explained.
    • Laboratory methods for chromosome research are detailed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop discriminant analysis models for chromosome classification.
    • To address the detection and classification of aberrative chromosomes.
    • To suggest methods for reducing calculations and accounting for missing chromosomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Definition and discussion of variables for describing chromosome images.
    • Development of three discriminant analysis models: isolated chromosome, cell-based (normal cell = 2 of each 23 kinds), and cell as the unit of analysis.
    • Study of aberrative chromosome detection and classification, including multiple cell analysis.
