ChromUltra Chromosome SNP HD Microarray Test
Advanced Genetic Analysis for Comprehensive Chromosomal Assessment
The ChromUltra Chromosome SNP HD Microarray Test represents the pinnacle of modern genetic diagnostics, utilizing state-of-the-art high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray technology to deliver unparalleled chromosomal analysis. This sophisticated testing method has revolutionized the field of cytogenetics by providing resolution far superior to traditional karyotyping methods, enabling detection of subtle genetic variations that were previously undetectable.
What Does the ChromUltra Test Measure and Detect?
This comprehensive genetic screening employs the Affymetrix CytoScan HD microarray platform to analyze the entire human genome with exceptional precision. The test specifically detects:
- Chromosomal Abnormalities: Complete aneuploidies, partial trisomies, and monosomies
- Copy Number Variations (CNVs): Both pathogenic and benign genomic alterations
- Microdeletions and Microduplications: Submicroscopic chromosomal changes as small as 50-100 kilobases
- Uniparental Disomy (UPD): Inheritance of both chromosomes from a single parent
- Regions of Homozygosity: Areas suggesting consanguinity or recessive disorders
- Loss of Heterozygosity (LOH): Important for cancer genetics and imprinting disorders
Who Should Consider the ChromUltra Chromosome SNP HD Microarray Test?
This advanced genetic testing is particularly recommended for individuals presenting with:
- Developmental Delays: Unexplained delays in reaching developmental milestones
- Intellectual Disabilities: Cognitive impairments without clear etiology
- Multiple Congenital Anomalies: Presence of two or more birth defects
- Autism Spectrum Disorders: For comprehensive genetic evaluation
- Unexplained Growth Abnormalities: Both failure to thrive and overgrowth syndromes
- Dysmorphic Features: Multiple physical abnormalities suggesting genetic origin
- Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Multiple miscarriages of unknown cause
- Stillbirth or Neonatal Death: With suspected genetic contributions
Key Benefits of ChromUltra SNP HD Microarray Testing
Choosing the ChromUltra test provides numerous advantages for patients and healthcare providers:
- Superior Resolution: Detects genetic variations 100 times smaller than traditional methods
- Comprehensive Analysis: Simultaneous assessment of the entire genome
- Higher Diagnostic Yield: Identifies genetic causes in 15-20% of cases where standard testing is negative
- No Cell Culture Required: Faster turnaround compared to conventional cytogenetics
- Objective Results: Automated analysis reduces subjective interpretation
- Clinical Actionability: Results directly inform medical management and treatment decisions
- Family Planning Guidance: Provides crucial information for reproductive decisions
Understanding Your Test Results
Your ChromUltra Chromosome SNP HD Microarray results will be carefully interpreted by our board-certified genetic specialists and cytogeneticists. Results typically fall into three categories:
- Pathogenic Findings: Clearly abnormal results that explain clinical symptoms and require specific medical management
- Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS): Genetic changes whose clinical impact is currently unknown, requiring careful clinical correlation
- Benign Variations: Common genetic polymorphisms that do not cause disease
All positive findings are confirmed using alternative methods when clinically indicated. Our genetic counselors provide comprehensive result explanations and discuss implications for family members.
