Test Overview & Methodology
Prenatal diagnostic screening via karyotyping and fluorescence in‑situ hybridization (FISH) provides definitive chromosomal analysis for aneuploidies affecting chromosomes 13 (Patau syndrome), 18 (Edwards syndrome), 21 (Down syndrome), and sex chromosomes X and Y. This test is indicated for high‑risk pregnancies, abnormal ultrasound findings, or positive maternal serum screening. FISH delivers rapid preliminary results while full karyotyping offers a comprehensive structural analysis of all 46 chromosomes.
| Feature | Our Test (Karyotyping + FISH) | Standard Karyotyping |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Cell culture + Fluorescence In‑Situ Hybridization (FISH) for rapid aneuploidy screen | Chromosome analysis from cultured cells (longer culture, no FISH) |
| Turnaround Time | 15–20 days (preliminary FISH results in 2–3 days) | 21–28 days |
| Detection Rate | >99.9% for common aneuploidies, structural anomalies | >99% but slower for aneuploidy confirmation |
| Sample | Amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sample (CVS) | Amniotic fluid or CVS |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Prenatal karyotyping combined with FISH delivers definitive genetic information that must be correlated with clinical findings and ultrasound results. It is a critical step for informed decision‑making during pregnancy. I always counsel patients that results must be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or obstetrician.”

Pre‑Procedure Advisory
Patients are advised not to discontinue prescribed medication without consulting their doctor. Certain medications may affect the test or pregnancy, and abrupt cessation can be dangerous. Full disclosure of medical history, including bleeding disorders or allergies, is required before the procedure.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does this prenatal diagnostic test detect and how reliable is it?
Prenatal karyotyping with FISH detects chromosome 13, 18, 21, X, Y abnormalities at 99.9% accuracy. This combination allows diagnosis of Down, Edwards, Patau syndromes and sex chromosome disorders. False‑positive rates are extremely low, and the test is considered the gold standard for invasive prenatal diagnosis.
2. How long does it take to receive results, and what is the process for sample collection?
Results from amniocentesis or CVS are provided within 15–20 working days in our ISO‑accredited lab. The sample is collected via transabdominal amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling under ultrasound guidance by a specialist. As a hospital‑only procedure, our team coordinates directly with the hospital to ensure proper handling and timely transport to the laboratory.
3. Is this test covered by insurance in the UAE, and how can I arrange for payment?
We verify insurance coverage directly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. Our team checks your policy in real time. All costs are transparent, and direct billing is available for in‑network providers. For self‑pay patients, the price is 1800 AED with no hidden fees.
