SNP Microarray−Pediatric (Reveal®)
Also known as: aCGH, CGH, CMA, Microarray Pediatric/Adult, Reveal® SNP Microarray−Pediatric
Use
This test 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.
Special Instructions
For cases where a child's test results are of unknown clinical significance, follow-up parental testing may be conducted at no charge to clarify findings. Charges apply for other parental tests, including autism regions, microdeletions/duplications, and large copy-number changes. Contact 800-345-4363 for off-site parental follow-up testing queries.
Limitations
This assay does not detect balanced chromosomal rearrangements, mosaicism below 10%, marker chromosomes containing only heterochromatin, or cases of tetraploidy. It also does not report CNVs cited in the Database of Genomic Variants. Truly balanced chromosome alterations go undetected by this analysis.
