Test Details
Chromosome analysis of chorionic villus (CV) cells is a prenatal diagnostic test that is performed to detect genetic abnormalities in a developing fetus. It involves the sampling of cells from the chorionic villi, which are tiny finger-like projections on the placenta that provide nutrients to the fetus.
The test is typically performed between 10-13 weeks of pregnancy and can be done through two methods: transcervical or transabdominal. In the transcervical method, a thin tube is inserted through the cervix to collect a small sample of the chorionic villi. In the transabdominal method, a needle is inserted through the abdomen to reach the placenta and collect the sample.
Once the sample is obtained, the cells are analyzed in a laboratory. The chromosomes are examined to check for any numerical or structural abnormalities. This can help identify conditions such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, and other chromosomal disorders.
Chromosome analysis of chorionic villus cells is considered a highly accurate test for detecting genetic abnormalities. However, it is an invasive procedure and carries a small risk of complications, including miscarriage. Therefore, it is usually recommended for women who have an increased risk of having a baby with a genetic disorder or those who have received abnormal results from other prenatal screening tests.
It is important to discuss the risks, benefits, and limitations of the test with a healthcare provider before deciding to undergo chromosome analysis of chorionic villus cells.
