What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days for obtaining the report for the Deletion/Monosomy Test 5 By FISH is typically within 7-10 business days from the date of sample collection.

What are the prerequisites for the test Deletion/Monosomy Test 5 By FISH

  • Specimen: Amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sample (CVS)
  • Test must be ordered by a physician or genetic counselor
  • Patient consent form must be signed
  • Specimen must be properly collected and transported to the laboratory

What are the measure values for the test Deletion/Monosomy Test 5 By FISH

  • Normal: 2 signals for each probe
  • Deletion/Monosomy: 1 signal for one probe and 2 signals for the other probe

What does this test Deletion/Monosomy Test 5 By FISH identify?

The Deletion/Monosomy Test 5 By FISH identifies chromosomal abnormalities associated with the loss of a specific chromosome or chromosomal region. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is used to detect the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on the chromosome of interest.

This test can be used to diagnose genetic disorders caused by the deletion of a specific chromosome, such as Cri du Chat syndrome which is characterized by the deletion of a portion of chromosome 5. It can also be used to identify monosomy, where an individual is missing one copy of a particular chromosome, which can lead to various genetic conditions.

Overall, the Deletion/Monosomy Test 5 By FISH is a valuable tool for identifying chromosomal abnormalities and assisting in the diagnosis of genetic disorders.

Why is this test Deletion/Monosomy Test 5 By FISH taken?

The Deletion/Monosomy Test 5 By FISH is taken to detect any abnormalities in chromosome 5, specifically looking for deletions or monosomy (when a person is missing one copy of a chromosome). This test is often recommended when a healthcare provider suspects a genetic disorder or when there are symptoms that suggest a chromosomal abnormality. By analyzing the chromosomes using Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology, this test can provide valuable information about a person's genetic makeup and help in diagnosis and treatment planning.
