Peace of Mind for Your Growing Family: FISH Chromosome 13 & 23 Testing
As expecting parents in South Africa, the health of your unborn baby is your highest priority. We understand the anxiety that can come with pregnancy and the importance of having accurate, reliable information about your baby’s genetic health. Our FISH Chromosome 13 & 23 test provides the clarity and confidence you deserve during this precious time.
Understanding FISH Chromosome Testing
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) is a sophisticated genetic testing method that examines specific chromosomes for abnormalities. This test focuses on chromosomes 13 and 23, which are crucial for normal fetal development. Unlike standard screening, FISH provides definitive results with exceptional accuracy, giving you concrete information rather than probabilities.
The test works by using fluorescent probes that bind to specific DNA sequences on chromosomes 13 and 23. Our laboratory specialists then analyse these patterns under high-powered microscopes to detect any extra or missing chromosomal material that could indicate conditions like trisomies or other genetic disorders.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Screening?
This test is particularly important for:
- Expecting mothers over 35 years of age
- Couples with family history of chromosomal disorders
- Parents who received abnormal ultrasound results
- Those with previous pregnancies affected by chromosomal conditions
- Any parent seeking comprehensive prenatal screening for peace of mind
- Families wanting the most accurate genetic information available
If you’re experiencing anxiety about your baby’s genetic health or have specific risk factors, this test can provide the reassurance you need.
