Test Overview & Methodology
The FISH Amniocentesis One Probe test rapidly detects an extra copy of chromosome 21 (Trisomy 21) in amniotic fluid cells using Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH), delivering reliable answers in just 4 days. This targeted prenatal screen is critical for confirming Down syndrome after 15 weeks gestation and adheres to DHA clinical pathways.

| Price | 650 AED | Typically 800โ1,200 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โEvery FISH test result must be interpreted alongside maternal age, ultrasound markers, and thorough genetic counseling. A positive Trisomy 21 signal offers vital early clarity, but it is not a standalone diagnosis โ correlation with highโrisk obstetric assessment and confirmatory testing is essential for the complete picture.โ

Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Gestational age < 15 weeks (increased risk of fetal loss and inadequate cell yield).
- Active uterine infection, vaginal bleeding, or ruptured membranes.
- Severe maternal coagulopathy or anticoagulant therapy not optimized for the procedure.
- Known allergy to the fluorescent probe reagent (extremely rare).
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How quickly can I get results from this amniotic fluid FISH test?
Results are reported within 4 days from sample receipt, providing rapid, actionable information about the chromosome 21 status while you await full karyotype if recommended.
2. Is a positive FISH result for Down syndrome considered definitive?
A positive result has over 99.9% sensitivity and is highly reliable, but clinical guidelines recommend confirmation with full chromosomal karyotype or microarray for comprehensive evaluation.
3. Can I use my UAE health insurance to cover the 650 AED cost?
Most UAE insurers cover prenatal FISH tests when medically indicated. Send your policy details via WhatsApp to +971 54 548 8731 for instant billing confirmation.
