What does the Chromosomal Array CGH High Resolution test include?
This test identifies genomic deletions, duplications, and other chromosomal abnormalities across the entire genome.
How does Metropolis Healthcare perform this test?
Metropolis Healthcare uses high-resolution aCGH technology with validated protocols to accurately detect chromosomal copy number variations from EDTA blood samples.
Who should take this test?
Individuals with developmental delays, congenital anomalies, unexplained intellectual disabilities, or a family history of genetic disorders may be advised to undergo this test.
What sample type is required?
An EDTA anticoagulated blood sample is needed to provide high-quality DNA for comprehensive genome analysis.
Why is chromosomal array testing important?
It allows for the detection of subtle chromosomal abnormalities that may not be identified by conventional karyotyping, aiding in precise diagnosis and management.
How reliable are results from Metropolis Healthcare?
Metropolis Healthcare follows strict quality control, validated high-resolution arrays, and expert interpretation to ensure accurate and reproducible results.
Is any preparation needed before the test?
No special preparation or fasting is required, but patients should follow any instructions provided by their physician.
How soon are results available?
Turnaround time may vary due to the detailed genome-wide analysis, but Metropolis Healthcare provides timely reports to support clinical decision-making.
