What does FISH - CHROMOSOME 18/X/Y - (Outlab) measure?
This fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test evaluates the number of copies of chromosome 18 and the X and Y sex chromosomes in cells. It may help detect certain chromosome number changes, such as an extra or missing copy of these chromosomes. Healthcare professionals may use it when assessing suspected chromosomal abnormalities or to support interpretation of other genetic or prenatal test findings. Results should be considered with clinical information and other laboratory findings.
