QF PCR Panel 131821XY and Karyotyping Test
Cost: AED 2400.0
Test Details
The QF PCR panel [13, 18, 21, XY] refers to a genetic test that uses quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF PCR) to detect specific chromosomal abnormalities. In this case, the panel is designed to screen for trisomy 13 (also known as Patau syndrome), trisomy 18 (also known as Edwards syndrome), trisomy 21 (also known as Down syndrome), and to determine the sex chromosomes (XY) in a sample.
Karyotyping, on the other hand, is a different genetic test that involves examining the chromosomes of an individual to identify any structural or numerical abnormalities. It is a visual analysis of the chromosomes, typically performed using a microscope. Karyotyping can detect a wide range of chromosomal abnormalities, including deletions, duplications, translocations, and other rearrangements.
Both the QF PCR panel and karyotyping are commonly used in prenatal testing to screen for chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses. The QF PCR panel provides a rapid and accurate method for detecting specific abnormalities, while karyotyping offers a more comprehensive analysis of the entire set of chromosomes. These tests are often used together to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the genetic health of the fetus.
