94587-3
LaboratoryGermline disorder chromosome analysis in Amniotic fluid or Chorionic villus sample by Mate pair sequencing
Definition
This term is used for the order & overall report for chromosome analysis by sequencing methods, such as mate pair sequencing, for the detection of germline (congenital) chromosome abnormalities in amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) specimens. Results may include the overall findings, the result in ISCN format, testing methods, interpretation, recommendations, and references. Testing is performed when previous cytogenetic studies are unsuccessful or detect a chromosome abnormality of unknown significance. Results provide diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information for patient care.
