Test Overview & Methodology
The Chromosomal Microarray 60K with Karyotyping integrates high‑resolution copy‑number variation (CNV) detection via Agilent 60K microarray with standard G‑banded karyotyping. This dual approach identifies submicroscopic deletions, duplications, and large chromosomal anomalies in one definitive workflow – essential for paediatric developmental delay, prenatal diagnosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, and haematological malignancy screening. The methodology combines DNA microarray analysis (Agilent 60K, ~60 kb resolution) with cell culture karyotyping (GTG banding, 5–10 Mb resolution).
| Feature | Our Microarray 60K + Karyotype | Conventional Karyotype Alone |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | ~60 kb CNV detection genome‑wide (Agilent) | 5–10 Mb (visible bands only) |
| Methodology | Agilent 60K Array + Cell Culture Karyotyping | GTG Banding alone |
| Turnaround Time | 7–9 working days | 10–14 days |
| Clinical Utility | Pathogenic CNVs + aneuploidy + balanced rearrangements | Aneuploidy & large structural anomalies only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Chromosomal microarray at 60K resolution is a powerful tool for detecting clinically significant copy‑number variants, yet variants of uncertain significance and incidental findings require careful interpretation within the family and clinical context. Post‑test genetic counselling is essential to ensure informed decision‑making and to avoid unnecessary anxiety. The concurrent karyotype remains indispensable for detecting balanced structural rearrangements.”

Advisory Notice
⚠️ Medication Advisory:
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or modify treatment plans without consulting your supervising physician. Genetic test results alone do not replace clinical judgement.
Patient Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Active systemic infection (fever >38.5°C) – reschedule collection until afebrile for 24 hours.
- Current anticoagulant therapy at therapeutic doses (INR >3.0) without prior medical clearance.
- Known haemoglobin <7 g/dL – venepuncture risk must be assessed.
- Recent (<4 weeks) bone marrow transplant or blood product transfusion may yield non‑constitutional results.
- Emergency warning: If the patient experiences acute bleeding, sudden severe headache, chest pain, or loss of consciousness after sample collection, proceed to the nearest emergency department immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What conditions can Chromosomal Microarray 60K with Karyotyping detect that a routine karyotype might miss?
Chromosomal microarray (CMA) at 60‑kilobase resolution detects submicroscopic deletions and duplications known as copy‑number variants (CNVs) that are invisible on a standard karyotype, making it essential for diagnosing microdeletion syndromes like 22q11.2 or 16p11.2, autistic spectrum‑related CNVs, and unexplained intellectual disability, while the included karyotype confirms balanced translocations and large aneuploidies.
2. Can this test be performed on cord blood or fetal blood, and what are the requirements?
Yes, the test accepts cord blood or fetal blood samples obtained via cordocentesis under strict aseptic conditions; a consultant obstetrician must provide a clinical justification, and the sample must be transported in a sodium‑heparin tube via our ISO‑certified cold chain to preserve cellular viability for culture. Collection is performed exclusively in hospital settings.
3. How do I arrange for blood collection and will insurance cover the cost?
For this test, sample collection is arranged at an accredited hospital facility – no home phlebotomy is available. Our team will assist in coordinating the appointment. Insurance eligibility can be verified instantly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731; most major policies cover medically indicated genetic testing with a doctor’s prescription.
