Understanding Your Results
Normal
No chromosomal abnormalities detected. Continue routine monitoring as advised.
Abnormal QF PCR
Possible aneuploidy (e.g., trisomy). Confirm with karyotyping and clinical correlation.
Abnormal Karyotyping
Structural or numerical chromosomal changes identified. Genetic counseling recommended for management options.
Consult a doctor if results are abnormal, if there are concerns about genetic risks, or if symptoms of genetic conditions persist. Genetic counseling is advised for all cases.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic mutations or microdeletions
- ⚠Results may be inconclusive in some cases, requiring further testing
- ⚠Turnaround time for karyotyping is longer than for QF PCR
Risks & Considerations
- ●Infection at the collection site
- ●Risk of miscarriage in prenatal procedures (e.g., amniocentesis)
- ●Minor discomfort or cramping
- ●Rare allergic reactions to antiseptics
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Maternal cell contamination in prenatal samples
- ●Inadequate sample volume or quality
- ●Technical errors in cell culture or PCR amplification
