This fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test looks for an extra copy of chromosome 18, a genetic change associated with Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18). It may be used when a healthcare professional needs targeted evaluation for this chromosome abnormality, such as after certain prenatal screening findings or when features suggest a possible chromosomal condition. Results are interpreted together with clinical information and, when needed, other genetic tests.
