FISH Amnio One Probe Trisomy 21 Down Syndrome Test
Introduction
The FISH Amnio One Probe Trisomy 21 Down Syndrome Test is a vital prenatal diagnostic tool that allows for early detection of Down syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, in a developing fetus. This test utilizes Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to analyze amniotic fluid samples and determine the chromosomal makeup of the fetus. By identifying the presence of an extra chromosome 21, healthcare providers can offer expectant parents critical information regarding their baby’s health.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the number of chromosome 21 copies in the fetus. A normal result indicates two copies, while the presence of three copies signifies a diagnosis of Down syndrome. The FISH method allows for rapid analysis and results, providing timely information to parents.
