Results indicate the presence or absence of chromosomal abnormalities. Abnormal findings may require further genetic counseling and clinical evaluation.
📊

Normal

No chromosomal abnormalities detected. Continue routine prenatal care.

📊

Abnormal - Trisomy 21

Presence of three copies of chromosome 21, indicating Down syndrome. Consult genetic counselor for management options.

📊

Abnormal - Other CNVs

Detection of pathogenic copy number variations. Further evaluation and counseling recommended.

📊

Abnormal - LOH

Loss of heterozygosity detected, which may indicate uniparental disomy or other conditions. Requires specialist review.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If results are abnormal, or if you experience symptoms like severe pain, fever, or bleeding after sample collection, consult your healthcare provider or genetic counselor immediately.
