Fetal Blood Karyotyping: Your Baby’s Genetic Health Matters
When you’re expecting, every decision about your baby’s health carries immense importance. Our fetal blood karyotyping test provides the clarity and confidence you need during this precious time. For South African mothers in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria, this advanced genetic screening offers peace of mind through comprehensive chromosome analysis.
Understanding Fetal Blood Karyotyping
Karyotyping is a sophisticated genetic test that examines your baby’s chromosomes for any structural abnormalities or numerical changes. Using a small fetal blood sample collected under medical supervision, our laboratory experts analyse the complete set of chromosomes to identify conditions like Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, and other chromosomal disorders.
The process involves cell culture techniques where fetal blood cells are grown in controlled laboratory conditions, allowing our genetic specialists to examine the chromosome patterns in detail. This method provides the highest level of accuracy in detecting potential genetic concerns.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly recommended for:
- Mothers with abnormal ultrasound findings
- Women over 35 years of age (advanced maternal age)
- Couples with family history of genetic disorders
