Chromosomal microarray is chromosomal that can be done during pregnancy, for this an amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) sample is taken. It is also done for the patients who are suffering with some genetic issues. Extra (trisomy) or missing (monosomy) chromosomes can be detected with CMA, but it may not be able to find chromosome translocations.
Resolution microarray test screens for submicroscopic chromosomal changes in DNA with whole genome coverage. CMA checks for the imbalances in the amount of chromosomal material in a DNA sample by comparing it with a reference database. This information helps in determining type of disorder in the sample. Chromosomal microarray analysis also helps in identifying the chromosomal deletion or addition or any duplication.
Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA) a Clinical Diagnostic Tool in the Prenatal and Postnatal Testing.
Whole-genome microarrays covers both polymorphic (SNPs) and non-polymorphic regions of the genome that can be used to assess DNA copy number variations at a much higher resolution to support the assessment of potentially causative genetic alterations such as DNA copy number variations (CNVs), chromosomal imbalances, and allelic imbalance indicative of absence of heterozygosity (AOH), loss of heterozygosity (LOH), or long contiguous stretches of homozygosity (LCSH). In order to be a leading diagnostic service provider in Microarray technology with state of the art high end equipment, Genes2Me offers Microarray Screening PAN India with three variants to choose from, giving flexible options according to specific requirements of the patient/Doctor.
Chromosomal microarray analysis helps in analyzing the genetic problems with high accuracy.
