| Summary: | Cytogenetics is a study on the genetic considerations associated with structural and functional aspects of the cells with reference to chromosomal inclusions. Chromosomes are structures within the cells containing body's information in the form of strings of DNA. When atypical version or structural abnormality in one or more chromosomes prevails, it is defined as chromosomal aberrations (CA) depicting certain genetic pathogeny (known as genetic disorders). The present study assumes the presence of normal and abnormal chromosomal sets in varying proportions in the cytogenetic complex ; and, stochastical mixture theory is invoked to ascertain the information redundancy as a function of fractional abnormal chromosome population. This bioinformatic measure of redundancy is indicated as a track-parameter towards the progression of genetic disorder, for example, the growth of cancer. Lastly, using the results obtained, conclusions are enumerated, inferences are outlined and directions for future studies are considered. | |
