Step 1

Sample Collection

Microarray 60K (AF/CVS/CB) can be done with a Doctor’s prescription. Prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad. Ensure proper documentation and consultation with a healthcare provider.

Method: Amniocentesis, Chorionic Villus Sampling, Cordocentesis

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

Sample collection is performed by a trained healthcare professional using sterile techniques. For amniotic fluid, amniocentesis is done; for chorionic villi, CVS is performed; for cord blood, cordocentesis is conducted. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes a few minutes.

Step 3

Report Delivery

After sample collection, apply pressure to the site if needed. Monitor for any signs of infection or discomfort. Follow up with your healthcare provider for results and further guidance.

Timeline: 7-9 days

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:Obtain a doctor's prescription if required. Discuss the test with your healthcare provider to understand its implications. Ensure sample collection is scheduled appropriately.
2
During the Test:Sample collection is performed in a clinical setting. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, with minimal discomfort.
3
After the Test:After sample collection, you can resume normal activities. Results will be available in 7-9 days via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.

Understanding Your Results

Results from the Microarray 60K test indicate the presence or absence of chromosomal abnormalities. A normal result shows no significant genetic variations, while an abnormal result may reveal gains, losses, or rearrangements in chromosomes that are associated with genetic disorders.
📊

Normal

No chromosomal abnormalities detected. Continue routine prenatal care.

📊

Abnormal - Aneuploidy

Presence of extra or missing chromosomes, e.g., Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Consult a genetic counselor for management options.

📊

Abnormal - Microdeletion/Duplication

Small chromosomal changes that may cause syndromes. Further testing and specialist consultation recommended.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

Genetic change with unknown clinical impact. Monitor and consider additional testing.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult your doctor immediately if you receive an abnormal result, have a family history of genetic disorders, or experience symptoms like developmental delays or physical abnormalities in the child. Genetic counseling is advised for all results.

Limitations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Microarray 60K (AF/CVS/CB) test?
It is an advanced genetic test that analyzes DNA from amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, or cord blood to detect chromosomal abnormalities and genetic variations associated with disorders like Down syndrome and cancer risks.
How is the test performed?
The test involves collecting a small sample of amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, or cord blood through minimally invasive procedures like amniocentesis, CVS, or cordocentesis, followed by DNA analysis using a microarray chip.
What samples are required for this test?
Samples can be amniotic fluid (AF), chorionic villi (CVS), or cord blood (CB), collected in sterile containers.
What is the cost of the Microarray 60K test?
The cost at DNA Labs India is INR 19500, which includes analysis, report, and home sample collection.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 7-9 days after sample collection.
Is the test painful?
The sample collection procedures are minimally invasive and may cause slight discomfort, but they are generally well-tolerated with local anesthesia if needed.
What conditions can this test detect?
It can detect chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, microdeletions/duplications, and genetic variants linked to increased cancer risks.
Is a doctor's prescription required?
Yes, a doctor's prescription is generally required, except for surgery, pregnancy cases, or individuals planning to travel abroad.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal but may include infection, bleeding, or rare complications like miscarriage with invasive procedures. Consult your doctor for personalized advice.
How accurate is the Microarray 60K test?
The test has high accuracy for detecting chromosomal abnormalities, but results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in clinical context.
