Early Pregnancy Chromosome Analysis: Peace of Mind for Your Growing Family
We understand the mix of excitement and concern that comes with pregnancy. The Chorionic Villus Sampling Chromosome Analysis is designed to provide the clarity and reassurance you need during these precious early weeks. This advanced prenatal screening helps detect chromosomal conditions that could affect your baby’s development, giving you valuable information to make informed decisions about your pregnancy care.
Understanding Chorionic Villus Chromosome Analysis
This specialised test examines the genetic material from chorionic villi – tiny finger-like projections in the placenta that share your baby’s genetic makeup. Through careful culture and microscopic analysis, our expert geneticists create a detailed karyotype (chromosome picture) to identify any abnormalities in chromosome number or structure. The procedure is performed between 10-13 weeks of pregnancy, providing early insights when they can make the most difference to your care plan.
Who Should Consider This Important Screening?
This test is particularly valuable for:
- Women over 35 years of age
- Couples with family history of genetic disorders
- Previous pregnancy with chromosomal abnormalities
- Abnormal ultrasound findings
- Parents carrying genetic conditions
- Anyone seeking comprehensive early pregnancy screening
If you’re experiencing anxiety about your baby’s genetic health or have specific risk factors, this test provides the answers you need.
