What does this test Maternal Cell Contamination Test identify?

Maternal Cell Contamination Test

The Maternal Cell Contamination Test is a genetic test used to identify and quantify the presence of maternal cells in a sample of fetal DNA. This test is important in prenatal genetic testing to ensure accurate results by distinguishing between fetal and maternal DNA.

Maternal cell contamination can occur during prenatal testing procedures such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, where maternal cells may be inadvertently mixed with fetal cells. This contamination can lead to false positive or false negative results in genetic testing.

The Maternal Cell Contamination Test helps to assess the level of contamination in a sample and adjust the interpretation of test results accordingly. By identifying and quantifying maternal cell contamination, healthcare providers can ensure the accuracy of prenatal genetic testing and provide more reliable information to patients.

Why is this test Maternal Cell Contamination Test taken?

Maternal Cell Contamination Test is taken to determine the presence of maternal cells in a prenatal sample, such as amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sampling. Maternal cells can contaminate the sample and lead to inaccurate results, especially in tests that rely on fetal DNA. By detecting and quantifying maternal cell contamination, healthcare providers can ensure the accuracy of the prenatal test results and make informed decisions about the health of the fetus.
