CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS CORD BLOOD Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS CORD BLOOD Test for prenatal diagnosis. This diagnostic test examines the chromosomes in a sample of cord blood to provide valuable information about an individual’s genetic makeup.
Test Details
The CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS CORD BLOOD Test, also known as karyotyping, is typically performed shortly after birth. It involves collecting a sample of cord blood and sending it to our laboratory for analysis. Our skilled technicians will then examine the chromosomes in the sample under a microscope and identify any abnormalities or variations in their number, size, or structure.
This test can detect a wide range of genetic disorders and abnormalities, including Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and other chromosomal abnormalities. It can also determine the sex of the baby.
Test Components and Price
The cost of the CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS CORD BLOOD Test is 750.0 AED. The test requires a sample of 4 mL (2 mL min.) cord blood collected in a Green Top (Sodium Heparin) tube. It is important to avoid clot formation during sampling and ship the specimen refrigerated immediately (DO NOT FREEZE). The specimen must reach our laboratory in New Delhi within 24 hours.
Recommended Timing and Requirements
The CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS CORD BLOOD Test is recommended between 18-20 weeks of gestation. It is important to provide the gestational age of the patient. Additionally, a duly filled Chromosome & FISH Analysis Requisition form (Form 17) and Consent form (Form 18) for Prenatal Genetic Testing are mandatory.
Report Delivery and Method
The sample for the CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS CORD BLOOD Test should be collected daily by 9 am for report delivery within 10 working days. The test is performed using culture, microscopy, and karyotype methods.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
The CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS CORD BLOOD Test is typically ordered by gynecologists and falls under the CYTOGENETICS department.
Pre Test Information
As mentioned earlier, the test is recommended between 18-20 weeks of gestation. It is mandatory to fill out the Chromosome & FISH Analysis Requisition form (Form 17) and Consent form (Form 18) for Prenatal Genetic Testing.
Importance of the Test
The CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS CORD BLOOD Test is a valuable tool in the field of genetics. It can provide important insights into an individual’s genetic health and help healthcare professionals diagnose and manage genetic conditions early on. This allows for appropriate treatment and intervention. The test results can also be useful for parents who may be planning future pregnancies or seeking genetic counseling.
