The Beighton score is used for assessing the presence of hypermobility. However, it must be noted that the diagnosis of Hypermobility Syndrome or HMS should be made using the Brighton Criteria.
Beighton scoring is based on testing the simple movement or hypermovements if you want to call them
Passive Dorsiflexion of Little Finger
In a normal individual, little finger cannot be extended beyond 90 degrees, even passively. Score 0
If the passive extension [dorsiflexion] reveals this movement beyond 90 degrees – Score 1
Passive Dorsiflexion of Thumb
If thumb cannot be made to touch the flexor aspect of forearm – Score 0
If thumb can be made to touch the flexor aspect of forearm – Score 1
Hyperextension of left elbow
In a most of individual the range of movement of elbow is 0-120 degrees. 0 signifies that arm can be made to straighten but further movement is not possible. Any further extension movement of elbow would result in arm bending backward. [Read more...]

Fluorescence in situ hybridization is a cytogenetic technique that is used to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes.
FISH uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence complementarity.
Fluorescence microscopy can be used to find out where the fluorescent probe bound to the chromosomes.
Uses
Fluorescence in situ hybridization is used in genetic counselling, medicine, and species identification.
It can also be used to detect and localize specific mRNAs within tissue samples and thus identify organisms which otherwise are not identifiable on routine tests.
