Overview
The primary purpose of Microarray 60K (POC) is to identify chromosomal imbalances (CNVs) in products of conception. This helps in determining the genetic cause of miscarriage, which is crucial for parental counseling and planning future pregnancies. It can also detect abnormalities in cases of fetal demise, stillbirth, or when there are structural anomalies on ultrasound. The test provides a comprehensive genomic analysis, offering more detailed information than conventional karyotyping, especially when cell culture fails or is not feasible.

Understanding Your Results
No pathogenic CNVs detected
No clinically significant chromosomal imbalance found. Other causes of miscarriage may need to be explored.
Pathogenic CNV detected
A known disease-causing deletion or duplication is present, likely explaining the clinical presentation.
Variant of unknown significance (VUS)
A CNV of uncertain clinical significance is found. Parental studies may help clarify its significance.
If you have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or have had abnormal prenatal findings, consult your gynecologist or genetic counselor to discuss whether Microarray 60K (POC) is appropriate for you.
Limitations
- ⚠Cannot detect balanced translocations or inversions
- ⚠May not detect low-level mosaicism (<10%)
- ⚠Cannot identify uniparental disomy (UPD) unless SNP probes are included
- ⚠Results may be inconclusive if DNA quality is poor
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk of infection or bleeding at the collection site
- ●No significant risks associated with the test itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Maternal cell contamination in POC sample
- ●Degraded DNA due to prolonged transport or improper storage
- ●Insufficient tissue sample
- ●Contamination with maternal decidua
