CHROMOSOME 18, X & Y (AMNIOTIC FLUID)

Description

Amniotic fluid chromosome analysis for chromosomes 18, X, and Y, often involves Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) to detect aneuploidy, which is an abnormal number of chromosomes. This test is typically performed on amniotic fluid samples, collected during amniocentesis, to assess the risk of certain genetic conditions in a developing fetus.
