What the Test Measures/Detects
The FISH Postnatal Gender Confirmation Test detects the presence of specific sex chromosomes (X and Y) in the sample, allowing for precise gender identification. This test is essential for diagnosing genetic disorders associated with ambiguous genitalia and for understanding the underlying genetic factors that may influence a child’s development.
Who Should Consider This Test
- Parents of newborns with ambiguous genitalia.
- Cases of gender reversal where traditional gender identification methods are inconclusive.
- Individuals with a family history of genetic disorders related to gender.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate identification of gender, aiding in timely medical interventions.
