Sample interview questions: Can you discuss any experience you have with analyzing chromosomal abnormalities in liver diseases?
Sample answer:
-
Experience with Analyzing Chromosomal Abnormalities in Liver Diseases:
- Conducted a cytogenetic analysis of liver tissue samples from patients with various liver diseases, including cirrhosis, hepatitis, and liver cancer.
- Utilized a combination of cytogenetic techniques, including karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), to identify and characterize chromosomal abnormalities.
- Identified recurrent chromosomal abnormalities, such as aneuploidy, deletions, amplifications, and translocations, in liver disease patients.
- Correlated chromosomal abnormalities with clinical and pathological features of liver diseases, including disease severity, prognosis, and response to treatment.
- Contributed to the development of new diagnostic and prognostic markers for liver diseases based on chromosomal abnormalities.
