FISH Amnio Three Probes Trisomy 18 X Y Test
Comprehensive Prenatal Genetic Screening for Chromosomal Abnormalities
The FISH Amnio Three Probes Trisomy 18 X Y Test represents a cutting-edge approach to prenatal genetic diagnosis, offering expectant parents valuable insights into their baby’s chromosomal health. This specialized diagnostic procedure utilizes advanced molecular cytogenetic technology to detect specific chromosomal abnormalities that can impact fetal development and pregnancy outcomes.
What This Test Measures and Detects
This sophisticated prenatal screening test specifically targets three critical chromosomal regions:
- Trisomy 18 Detection: Identifies the presence of an extra chromosome 18, known as Edwards syndrome, which causes severe developmental delays and multiple organ system abnormalities
- X Chromosome Analysis: Screens for abnormalities in the X chromosome, including Turner syndrome (monosomy X) and other X-linked disorders
- Y Chromosome Assessment: Evaluates the presence and integrity of the Y chromosome, detecting conditions like Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) and other sex chromosome aneuploidies
Who Should Consider This Test
This prenatal genetic screening is particularly recommended for:
- Women with abnormal ultrasound findings suggesting chromosomal abnormalities
- Expectant mothers with advanced maternal age (35 years or older)
- Couples with a family history of chromosomal disorders
- Pregnancies with abnormal first or second trimester screening results
- Previous pregnancies affected by chromosomal abnormalities
- Parents carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements
Key Benefits of FISH Amnio Testing
- Rapid Results: Receive preliminary findings within 4 days compared to traditional karyotyping that takes 10-14 days
- High Accuracy: FISH technology provides over 99% detection rate for targeted chromosomal abnormalities
- Early Intervention: Enables timely medical decisions and appropriate pregnancy management
- Comprehensive Screening: Covers multiple critical chromosomal regions in a single test
- Minimal Risk: Performed on amniotic fluid obtained through amniocentesis, a well-established procedure with low complication rates
Understanding Your Test Results
Your FISH Amnio Three Probes results will fall into one of these categories:
- Normal Results: Indicate the absence of Trisomy 18 and normal X and Y chromosome patterns, providing reassurance about your baby’s chromosomal health
- Abnormal Results: Detect specific chromosomal abnormalities, requiring further genetic counseling and discussion of management options
- Inconclusive Results: May require additional testing or repeat sampling for definitive diagnosis
Our board-certified genetic counselors provide comprehensive result interpretation and guidance, helping you understand the implications and next steps for your pregnancy.
