Test Details
The FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) – Prenatal Comprehensive Screening Panel 1 test is a genetic test performed during pregnancy to screen for certain chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. It uses fluorescent probes to detect specific chromosomal regions or genes, allowing for the identification of abnormalities such as trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome).
The test is typically recommended for pregnant women who have an increased risk of having a baby with a chromosomal abnormality, based on factors such as maternal age, family history, or abnormal results from other prenatal screening tests. It is usually performed on cells obtained from the amniotic fluid (amniocentesis) or the placenta (chorionic villus sampling).
The FISH – Prenatal Comprehensive Screening Panel 1 test provides a rapid and accurate assessment of these common chromosomal abnormalities, allowing for early detection and informed decision-making for the expectant parents.
It is important to note that while the test is highly accurate, it does not screen for all possible chromosomal abnormalities, and further testing may be recommended if other abnormalities are suspected. It is essential to consult with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor to discuss the benefits, limitations, and potential risks associated with the FISH – Prenatal Comprehensive Screening Panel 1 test before making a decision to undergo the test.
