  • They analyzed data from the 19 Danish departments of gynecology and obstetrics and the national cytogenetic registry for an average of 65,000 births each year between 2000 and 2007.

Morphology

cytogenetic = genetic (semi-transparent) = cyto + genetic

Formed from the technical combining form 'cyto-' (cell) + 'genetic'; transparent to those familiar with scientific morphemes but not to average B1 learners.

Etymology

Cytogenetic combines cyto- 'cell' and genetic 'about genes', and genes are the parts that carry traits, so it is about the genes and structures inside cells.
