Study Notes

Molecular Diagnosis: Analysis of DNA at Gene, Molecular, and Chromosomal Levels

  • Molecular diagnosis involves identifying diseases by studying molecules in tissues or fluids.
  • Analysis of DNA can be achieved at three levels: gene, molecular, and chromosomal.
  • Restriction analysis/gene cloning involves cutting DNA molecules into smaller pieces using restriction endonucleases.
  • Gel electrophoresis separates macromolecules based on size or charge and is used to separate DNA fragments.
  • Southern blotting is a technique where DNA separated by electrophoresis is transferred to a membrane filter and detected by the binding of a labeled probe.
  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an in vitro method used for rapid production of specific segments of DNA from a small sample of DNA template.
  • PCR is used for diagnosis of inherited diseases, detection of tumour cells, and early stages of pathogenic microorganisms or virus infections.
  • DNA sequencing is the ultimate analytical assay for DNA to determine the individual nucleotides linked together to form the DNA molecule.
  • Automated DNA sequencing became a fully automated process crucial for genomics, the study of entire genomes.
  • Karyotyping involves studying chromosomal abnormalities by organizing stained metaphase chromosomes according to chromosome number.
  • Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is used to detect portions or whole chromosomes using fluorescent probes, which can be specific for a gene or chromosome stretch.
  • FISH can be used for chromosome painting, where each chromosome is visualized using a different colored fluorescent probe.
