Microarray 60K AFCVS Karyotyping FISH Chromosome 21 – Comprehensive Prenatal Genetic Testing
Understanding Advanced Prenatal Genetic Screening
The Microarray 60K AFCVS Karyotyping FISH Chromosome 21 represents the gold standard in comprehensive prenatal genetic testing, combining three powerful diagnostic technologies to provide unparalleled insights into fetal chromosomal health. This integrated approach offers superior detection capabilities compared to traditional screening methods, making it an essential tool for high-risk pregnancies and informed prenatal care decisions.
What This Advanced Test Measures and Detects
This comprehensive test utilizes multiple methodologies to provide complete chromosomal analysis:
Microarray 60K Technology
- Detects submicroscopic chromosomal abnormalities undetectable by standard karyotyping
- Identifies microdeletions and microduplications as small as 50-100 kilobases
- Provides high-resolution analysis of the entire genome
- Detects copy number variations (CNVs) associated with developmental disorders
Conventional Karyotyping
- Identifies large chromosomal abnormalities including aneuploidies
- Detects structural rearrangements like translocations and inversions
- Provides visualization of chromosome banding patterns
- Confirms balanced chromosomal rearrangements
FISH Chromosome 21 Analysis
- Specifically targets chromosome 21 for rapid detection of trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
- Provides rapid preliminary results within 24-48 hours
- Uses fluorescent probes for precise chromosomal localization
- Offers high specificity and sensitivity for common aneuploidies
Who Should Consider This Comprehensive Genetic Testing
This advanced prenatal testing is particularly recommended for:
High-Risk Pregnancy Indicators
- Advanced maternal age (35 years or older)
- Abnormal ultrasound findings including increased nuchal translucency
- Previous pregnancy with chromosomal abnormalities
- Family history of genetic disorders or chromosomal conditions
- Abnormal first or second trimester screening results
Clinical Scenarios Requiring Detailed Analysis
- Fetal structural abnormalities detected on ultrasound
- Unexplained fetal growth restriction
- Multiple congenital anomalies
- Parental balanced chromosomal rearrangement
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
Significant Benefits of Comprehensive Prenatal Testing
Enhanced Detection Capabilities
This integrated approach provides detection rates exceeding 99% for common aneuploidies while also identifying microdeletions and submicroscopic abnormalities that traditional methods might miss. The combination of technologies ensures comprehensive coverage of potential genetic concerns.
Informed Decision Making
Accurate genetic information empowers expectant parents and healthcare providers to make informed decisions about pregnancy management, delivery planning, and postnatal care requirements. Early detection allows for appropriate medical and psychological preparation.
Rapid and Reliable Results
With FISH providing preliminary results within 24-48 hours and complete analysis within 7-9 days, this testing offers both speed and comprehensive analysis, reducing anxiety and enabling timely medical interventions when necessary.
Understanding Your Test Results
Normal Results Interpretation
A normal result indicates no detectable chromosomal abnormalities using the combined technologies. This provides significant reassurance but doesn’t guarantee the absence of all genetic conditions, as some disorders may not be detectable through chromosomal analysis alone.
Abnormal Findings Guidance
If abnormalities are detected, our genetic counseling team provides comprehensive explanation of the findings, including:
- Specific nature of the chromosomal abnormality
- Associated clinical implications and prognosis
- Available management options and interventions
- Recurrence risks for future pregnancies
- Referrals to appropriate specialists
Variants of Uncertain Significance
In some cases, the test may identify genetic variants whose clinical significance is unclear. Our genetic counselors will explain these findings and discuss appropriate follow-up testing or parental studies when indicated.
