Chromosome Analysis, Chorionic Villi Biopsy With Reflex to SNP Microarray (Reveal®)
Also known as: CVS Prenatal Karyotyping, Chromosome Analysis With Reflex to Microarray
Use
The chromosome analysis determines fetal karyotype. A normal chromosome analysis will reflex to the SNP assay, which will detect chromosomal imbalances that could be associated with developmental delay/congenital anomalies. It provides detection of possible uniparental disomy of any chromosome, the percent and location of homozygosity, including the degree of identity by descent. If specimens from a twin pregnancy are submitted by request, it can be reported if these are DZ or MZ twins.
Special Instructions
Pertinent medical findings must accompany request, and if prior Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) studies have been performed, a copy of the report should be included.
Limitations
The SNP assay does not detect balanced rearrangements, low-level mosaicism (<10%), marker chromosomes containing only heterochromatin or tetraploidy. Truly balanced chromosome alterations will not be detected, and the threshold for mosaicism is variable.
