Prenatal Genetic Testing: Karyotyping + CMA (750K) + MCC
Prenatal genetic testing plays a crucial role in assessing the genetic health of a developing fetus. It provides valuable information about the baby’s chromosomes and can detect a wide range of genetic abnormalities. The Prenatal Genetic Testing package includes Karyotyping, Chromosomal Microarray (CMA – 750K), and Maternal Cell Contamination (MCC) analysis.
1. Karyotyping (KT) – Prenatal:
Karyotyping is a classic genetic test that examines the fetal chromosomes. It involves analyzing a sample of the baby’s cells, usually obtained through chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis. Karyotyping helps identify numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities, such as trisomies (e.g., Down syndrome) or deletions and duplications.
2. Chromosomal Microarray (CMA – 750K):
Chromosomal Microarray (CMA) is an advanced genetic test that provides higher resolution than traditional karyotyping. It can detect small genetic changes, known as copy number variations (CNVs), which may not be visible in karyotyping. CMA-750K evaluates thousands of genetic markers, allowing for more comprehensive and precise analysis of the fetal genome.
3. Maternal Cell Contamination (MCC) Analysis:
Maternal Cell Contamination (MCC) analysis is a critical step in prenatal genetic testing. It helps differentiate between the fetal and maternal cells present in the sample, ensuring accurate results. By distinguishing the genetic material from both the mother and the fetus, MCC analysis minimizes the risk of false-positive or false-negative results.
Why Choose Prenatal Genetic Testing:
- Early Detection of Genetic Abnormalities: Prenatal testing can identify chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders at an early stage, enabling appropriate management and counseling.
- Informed Decision-Making: Testing results allow expectant parents to make informed decisions about their pregnancy and prepare for any potential medical or lifestyle needs of the baby.
- Peace of Mind: Prenatal genetic testing provides peace of mind for parents by providing insight into the baby’s health and potential risks.
- Family Planning: Test results can also aid in family planning decisions and provide information for future pregnancies.
Take Control of Your Pregnancy Journey:
The Prenatal Genetic Testing package combining Karyotyping, Chromosomal Microarray (CMA – 750K), and Maternal Cell Contamination (MCC) analysis offers comprehensive insights into your baby’s genetic health. It empowers parents and healthcare providers to take proactive steps for a healthier and more informed pregnancy journey.
