Chromosome Five-cell Count Plus Microarray (Reveal®), Amniotic Fluid

Use

The test allows prenatal detection of chromosomal aneuploidy, and is used to rule out tetraploidy and rearrangements not detected by array, such as balanced translocations and inversions. It also helps to clarify array abnormalities to determine if a structural rearrangement, marker, or isochromosome is present. Array can only provide copy number imbalances and cannot determine structure of an abnormality. The SNP assay 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.
