Introduction: Conventional cytogenetics by the use of standard karyotyping allows the study of numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations. Haematological malignancies include a number of cancer types that originate in the blood cells of the bone marrow or of the lymphatic system. Cytogenetic methods are traditionally used for the sake of diagnosis and prognosis of these diseases. However, with the ever more frequent use of molecular methods in the diagnostic laboratories, the importance of the conventional cytogenetic analysis in the diagnosis of haematological diseases needs to be reassessed. Aim: To evaluate the role of cytogenetic methods in the diagnosis of haematological malignancies. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of cytogenetic findings of 146 patients with various haematological malignancies was performed. All of the findings were made over a period of three years at the Centre for Genetics at the Medical Faculty of the University of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Microsoft Excel 2019 was used for the analysis and presentation of data in the form of tables and graphs. Results: The results of the present study showed that the use of conventional cytogenetic analysis is a good diagnostic method for 50.68% (74) of patients in whom chromosomal aberrations were detected. Conclusion: Cytogenetics remains the most comprehensive method for assessing chromosomal abnormalities due to its ability to detect clinically relevant aneuploidies and additional cytogenetic abnormalities that cannot be detected by locus-specific assays.

Abstract Purpose of Review The usual abundance of fresh cells and high-quality DNA derived from bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood mean haematological malignancies are at the forefront of the application of genomics to malignancy. This review evaluates where genomics is routinely used in clinical care and where opportunities for further application exist. Recent Findings The 2016 revision of the WHO classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues increased the number of disease entities defined by, or whose diagnosis was strongly supported by, a specific genetic change. Increasingly combinations of mutations rather than individual lesions are being used to genomically classify heterogeneous disorders to inform prognosis and direct treatment. Furthermore, the role of different genetic aberrations as markers of measurable residual disease is being evaluated in clinical trials to allow intensification/de-intensification of treatment as appropriate and early detection of relapse. Summary Implementation of broader sequencing technologies such as whole exome/genome sequencing coupled with continuing developments in genomic technology to improve turn-around-times are likely to further reinforce the centrality of genomics in the management of haematological malignancies.
