Test Overview & Methodology
Chromosome Analysis from Cord Blood is a definitive diagnostic cytogenetic test performed during pregnancy (optimally at 18–20 weeks) to detect numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities—such as trisomies, deletions, and translocations—with high precision. This test leverages conventional karyotyping after cell culture, providing a comprehensive map of the fetal karyotype.
Comparative Analysis: Cord Blood Karyotyping vs. NIPT
| Feature | Our Test (Cord Blood Karyotyping) | Closest Alternative (NIPT) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% sensitivity & specificity for aneuploidy | High sensitivity but screening only; requires confirmatory testing |
| Method | Conventional Karyotyping with Culture & Microscopy | Cell-free DNA analysis |
| Turnaround Time | 10 working days | 5–7 calendar days |
| Regulatory Status | DHA-Compliant, ISO 9001:2015 Certified | CE-IVD; may lack local DHA validation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that this cord blood chromosome analysis requires careful clinical correlation with ultrasound findings, family history, and maternal health. No single test replaces the holistic judgment of your treating obstetrician and clinical geneticist. Please ensure you have a detailed discussion with our genetic counselor to understand the implications—both normal and abnormal results must be interpreted within the full clinical context."
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA Registration ID: 9294403)
Critical Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
If you are undergoing this test as part of a high-risk pregnancy, continue all prescribed therapies (e.g., progesterone, antihypertensives) unless your physician advises otherwise.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Gestational age outside the recommended 18–20 weeks (insufficient viable cells or sampling risk).
- Active intrauterine infection or membrane rupture.
- Inability to obtain adequate cord blood volume (min. 2 mL) due to fetal position or maternal condition.
- Anticoagulant therapy that precludes safe collection.
- Specimen clotted or exposed to temperature extremes – will require recollection.
- Urgent ER visit indicators: sudden vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, fluid leak, or reduced fetal movements; do not wait for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the cord blood chromosome analysis, and what anomalies can it actually detect?
This diagnostic test detects numeric and structural chromosomal anomalies with 99.9% sensitivity and specificity at the karyotype level, including Down syndrome, other trisomies, deletions, and translocations.
2. What preparation is required before the cord blood sample is collected?
No fasting is needed; however, you must complete the mandatory Chromosome & FISH Analysis consent and requisition forms before collection, and provide accurate gestational age.
3. How long until I receive my results, and who will interpret them for me?
Your full karyotype report will be available in 10 working days with telephonic interpretation by our clinical geneticist included.
4. Can I book a hospital collection appointment directly?
Yes, you can coordinate with our team via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 (8 AM – 11 PM daily) to arrange collection at a DHA-accredited facility. Hospital extraction only is available.
