Microarray 60K POC: Comprehensive Genetic Analysis for Products of Conception
Understanding Microarray 60K POC Testing
The Microarray 60K POC (Products of Conception) test represents a cutting-edge genetic diagnostic approach specifically designed to analyze fetal tissue following pregnancy loss. This sophisticated technology provides unprecedented resolution in detecting chromosomal abnormalities that may have contributed to miscarriage or fetal demise. By examining 60,000 genetic markers across the entire genome, this test offers comprehensive insights that traditional karyotyping methods cannot provide.
What the Test Measures and Detects
The Microarray 60K POC test utilizes advanced Agilent microarray technology to identify:
- Chromosomal aneuploidies (extra or missing chromosomes)
- Microdeletions and microduplications too small for conventional detection
- Submicroscopic chromosomal imbalances
- Copy number variations (CNVs) with clinical significance
- Uniparental disomy in specific cases
Technical Specifications
This high-resolution analysis examines over 60,000 probes distributed throughout the human genome, providing detailed genetic information that helps identify the underlying causes of pregnancy loss with exceptional accuracy and precision.
Who Should Consider Microarray 60K POC Testing
This specialized genetic test is particularly valuable for:
- Couples experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss
- Patients with previous fetal abnormalities detected during pregnancy
- Women with advanced maternal age (35 years and older)
- Cases where traditional chromosome analysis was unsuccessful
- Families seeking comprehensive genetic information after pregnancy loss
- Patients with abnormal ultrasound findings in previous pregnancies
Clinical Benefits of Microarray 60K POC Testing
Choosing Microarray 60K POC testing provides numerous advantages:
- Higher Detection Rate: Identifies up to 10-15% more abnormalities compared to conventional karyotyping
- Comprehensive Analysis: Evaluates the entire genome with high resolution
- Recurrence Risk Assessment: Helps determine the likelihood of similar issues in future pregnancies
- Informed Family Planning: Provides valuable information for making decisions about future pregnancies
- Psychological Closure: Offers answers that can help with emotional healing
- Genetic Counseling Guidance: Results help genetic counselors provide targeted recommendations
Understanding Your Test Results
Your Microarray 60K POC results will be carefully analyzed and interpreted by our team of genetic specialists. Results typically fall into three categories:
Normal Results
A normal microarray result indicates no significant chromosomal abnormalities were detected in the tested sample. This information can be reassuring and may suggest other factors contributed to the pregnancy loss.
Abnormal Results
If chromosomal abnormalities are identified, our genetic counselors will explain the specific findings, their potential implications, and the recurrence risks for future pregnancies.
Variants of Uncertain Significance
In some cases, genetic variations of unknown clinical significance may be detected. Our team will provide guidance on how to interpret these findings and discuss appropriate follow-up steps.
