Understanding Your Baby’s Chromosomal Health
As expectant parents in South Africa, the health of your unborn baby is your highest priority. Our Prenatal Diagnostic Screening by Karyotyping FISH offers you the clarity and peace of mind you deserve during this special time. This advanced test examines your baby’s chromosomes for the most common abnormalities that can affect development and health.
What This Test Detects
This comprehensive screening specifically analyzes chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y for abnormalities. These chromosomes are associated with conditions like Down syndrome (chromosome 21), Edwards syndrome (chromosome 18), Patau syndrome (chromosome 13), and sex chromosome disorders. The test combines traditional karyotyping with FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) technology, providing both detailed chromosomal analysis and rapid preliminary results.
Who Should Consider This Test
This screening is particularly important if you:
- Have abnormal ultrasound findings suggesting chromosomal issues
- Are over 35 years of age (advanced maternal age)
- Have a family history of chromosomal disorders
- Received abnormal results from non-invasive prenatal screening
- Have concerns about your baby’s development based on screening tests
- Want comprehensive chromosomal analysis for complete peace of mind

- Informed decision-making about your pregnancy

- Better planning for your family’s future
