Test Overview & Methodology
Prenatal FISH screening for aneuploidy of chromosomes 18, X, and Y delivers rapid results (3โ4 days) from amniotic fluid or chorionic villi. This DHA-compliant test uses fluorescence in-situ hybridization to detect trisomy 18, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome with high accuracy.
| Feature | Our Test (FISH) | Closest Alternative (Karyotype) |

| Methodology | Interphase FISH (Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization) | Conventional G-Banded Karyotyping |
| Precision | 99.9% Diagnostic Sensitivity | ~99.5% Sensitivity |
| Speed | 3โ4 Days | 10โ14 Days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โIt is essential to correlate these FISH results with a full karyotype, ultrasound findings, and genetic counseling before making any clinical decision. This test offers rapid orientation but should never replace a comprehensive fetal assessment.โ

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the Chromosomes 18, X & Y FISH test detect?
This test rapidly detects trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) and sex chromosome aneuploidies such as Turner syndrome (45,X) and Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) in prenatal samples such as amniotic fluid or chorionic villi.
2. How is the sample collected?
A healthcare professional obtains the sample via ultrasound-guided needle aspiration under sterile conditions. This is a hospital-only procedure: amniocentesis for amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) for placental tissue.
3. Is a doctorโs prescription required?
Yes, a valid prescription from a DHA-licensed physician is mandatory except for specific exemptions such as travel certificates, surgical clearance, or pregnancy termination consultations as per UAE law.
