Invitae Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA)
Use
The Invitae Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA) is intended to aid in the diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities associated with developmental disorders. These include developmental delay (DD), intellectual disability (ID), multiple congenital anomalies (MCA), dysmorphic features, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), seizures, and epilepsy. This test reports detected whole and segmental aneuploidies, submicroscopic copy number variations (CNVs) that cannot be detected by conventional karyotype, size and gene content of CNVs, regions of homozygosity, and uniparental isodisomy.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
CMA is unable to identify balanced structural rearrangements, including translocations, insertions and/or inversions. It does not qualify for Invitae’s Family Variant Testing (FVT) or VUS Resolution programs. Mosaicism for aneuploidy may be reported when present at or above the detection threshold of 20%.
