Chromosome Analysis Cord Blood Test
Comprehensive Prenatal Chromosomal Screening
The Chromosome Analysis Cord Blood Test represents a cornerstone of modern prenatal genetic diagnostics, offering expectant parents crucial insights into fetal chromosomal health. This sophisticated procedure analyzes chromosomes obtained from umbilical cord blood to identify potential genetic abnormalities that could impact fetal development and long-term health outcomes.

- Complete chromosomal count and structure analysis
- Detection of numerical abnormalities including trisomies (extra chromosomes)
- Identification of structural chromosomal rearrangements
- Assessment for monosomies (missing chromosomes)
- Evaluation of chromosomal mosaicism patterns
- Detection of common aneuploidies including Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13)
