This atlas , which is currently in its second edition , functions as an accessible diagnostic manual for the examination of the human karyotype . It is divided into four sections, beginning with a thorough introduction that covers the fundamentals of molecular cytogenetics , the function of ethics committees , and global quality control in the field of diagnostics .

The primary portions II and III use a combination of karyogram and ideogram to display the spectrum of various chromosomal disorders . They discuss the relative importance of various banding methods , provide the karyotype formula and discuss the morphological quirks of each example that is discussed .

The last section goes into great detail about non-coding DNA variations and discusses potential issues with the identification of aberrations . In counseling chromosomal aberration carriers or their relatives , it also indicates anomalies to be taken into account and further studies that are required . This atlas is an essential tool for academics , physicians and practitioners involved in cytogenetics and clinical genetics because of its extensive coverage and pragmatic approach.
