Reveal® SNP Microarray – Prenatal

This test detects chromosomal imbalance that could be associated with developmental delay/congenital anomalies. It provides detection of uniparental disomy of any chromosome, the percentage and location of homozygosity, including the degree of identity by descent.

When ordering chromosome analysis with reflex to microarray if chromosome analysis is normal, provide at least 30 cc of amniotic fluid or 30 mg of uncultured CVS An increase in the turnaround time and additional charges will apply for the microarray A Clinical Questionnaire for Reveal SNP Microarray - Prenatal must be completed. If prior NIPT or maternal serum screening studies have been performed, include copy of report.

This assay does not detect balanced rearrangements and may not detect low-level mosaicism.

Whole genome SNP-based copy-number microarray analysis targeting 2.695 million copy-number and allele-specific genome sites from uncultured cells. If DNA yield on uncultured cells is inadequate, analysis will be performed on cultured cells.
