Understanding Your Results

Results of the Microarray 180K test should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or physician. The test detects chromosomal abnormalities that may be associated with genetic disorders.
Normal result: No significant chromosomal abnormalities detected
Abnormal result: Pathogenic variants found, indicating a genetic disorder
Variant of uncertain significance: Further testing or family studies may be recommended
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If results are abnormal or if there are concerns about genetic disorders, consult a geneticist or specialist for further evaluation and management.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variations
  • ⚠Results may include variants of uncertain significance (VUS)
  • ⚠Requires interpretation by a geneticist

Risks & Considerations

  • ●For amniocentesis/CVS: Risk of miscarriage or infection
  • ●For blood draw: Minor bruising or discomfort

Interfering Factors
