CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS AMNIOTIC FLUID Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS AMNIOTIC FLUID Test for prenatal diagnosis. This test is performed to detect any chromosomal abnormalities in a developing fetus.
Test Details
The CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS AMNIOTIC FLUID Test is typically recommended between 15 and 20 weeks of gestation. It involves extracting a small amount of amniotic fluid from the amniotic sac surrounding the fetus. The fluid contains fetal cells that can be used for genetic analysis.
These cells are then cultured and grown in a laboratory before being examined under a microscope. The purpose of this test is to check for any numerical or structural abnormalities in the chromosomes of the fetus, such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, or certain types of genetic disorders.
It is important to note that the CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS AMNIOTIC FLUID Test is an invasive procedure and carries a small risk of complications, including miscarriage. Therefore, it is usually only offered to women who have a higher risk of having a baby with chromosomal abnormalities, such as advanced maternal age or a family history of genetic disorders.

The test can provide information about the overall health and development of the fetus, and can help parents make informed decisions about their pregnancy. However, it is an invasive procedure and carries a small risk of complications, including miscarriage. It is important to note that chromosome analysis of amniotic fluid is not routinely recommended for all pregnancies. It is usually only offered to women who have a higher risk of having a baby with chromosomal abnormalities, such as advanced maternal age or a family history of genetic disorders. Before undergoing the test, it is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider. Genetic counseling may also be recommended to help parents understand the implications of the test results and make informed decisions about their pregnancy. |
