What does CHROMOSOME 18, X & Y (AMNIOTIC FLUID) - (Outlab) measure?
This prenatal genetic test evaluates chromosomes 18, X and Y in amniotic fluid. It may detect changes in the number of these chromosomes, including an extra or missing copy. Healthcare professionals may order it when screening results, ultrasound findings, family history or other clinical information indicate a possible chromosomal condition. Results are interpreted along with other prenatal findings and genetic counselling, when appropriate.
