Start with fit

Is this the right test for you?

The best test starts with a clear clinical question. These are common reasons a clinician or family may consider this test.

  • ✓History of recurrent pregnancy loss (miscarriages).
  • ✓Investigation following a single pregnancy loss, as advised by a physician.
  • ✓Couples with a family history of chromosomal abnormalities.
  • ✓Patients seeking to understand potential genetic factors related to pregnancy outcomes.

In plain language

What this test helps you understand

This test helps identify chromosomal abnormalities in products of conception, providing insights into potential causes of pregnancy loss, particularly recurrent miscarriages. It can inform future reproductive decisions and management strategies.
This specialized genetic test, Chromosome Analysis Products of Conception Reflex Testing to FISH for Aneuploidy Detection, is designed to identify chromosomal abnormalities in the products of conception (tissue from a miscarriage or termination). It helps understand potential genetic reasons for pregnancy loss or recurrent miscarriages. The test utilizes advanced laboratory techniques, including cell culture, microscopic examination (karyotyping), and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), to analyze the chromosomes. This provides detailed information about the chromosomal makeup, specifically looking for aneuploidies (an abnormal number of chromosomes). Understanding these results can be crucial for future reproductive health management and family planning.

Questions people ask

Frequently asked questions

Products of conception refers to the tissue obtained from a miscarriage or termination of pregnancy, which can be analyzed for genetic information.
Aneuploidy is a condition where there is an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, either too many or too few.
This test can help identify if a chromosomal abnormality in the products of conception was a potential cause of the pregnancy loss.
It is crucial to discuss the results with your doctor or a genetic counselor to understand their meaning and implications for your health and future pregnancies.
The sample should be curretted tissue in normal saline and shipped immediately at 18°C to 22°C. Please refer to the laboratory's specific submission guidelines.
