Comprehensive Chromosomal Analysis for Peace of Mind
Facing concerns about genetic conditions or planning for a healthy pregnancy? Our QF PCR Panel 13,18,21,XY with Karyotyping provides the clarity and confidence you need. This advanced genetic screening helps detect chromosomal abnormalities that could impact your health or your baby’s development, giving you the information to make informed decisions about your future.
Understanding Your Genetic Health Assessment
This comprehensive test combines two powerful techniques to give you the most accurate picture of your chromosomal health. The QF PCR (Quantitative Fluorescent Polymerase Chain Reaction) rapidly screens for the most common chromosomal abnormalities affecting chromosomes 13, 18, 21 and the sex chromosomes (X and Y). The Karyotyping provides a detailed visual analysis of all your chromosomes, identifying any structural changes or numerical abnormalities.
Using advanced Cell Culture and Sanger Sequencing methods, our laboratory technicians ensure the highest level of accuracy in detecting conditions like Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18), Patau syndrome (trisomy 13), and sex chromosome variations.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Screening?
This test is particularly important for:
- Couples planning pregnancy who want comprehensive genetic screening
- Pregnant individuals with abnormal ultrasound findings
- Those with a family history of chromosomal disorders
- Women of advanced maternal age (35+ years)
- Individuals with previous pregnancies affected by chromosomal conditions
- Those experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss
- People planning international travel requiring comprehensive health screening
